Zambrano is a starting pitcher. He plays once every five days. So suspending him for 5 games only makes him miss one start.

He may pitch on day 6, which means he does not miss a start he just gets moved in the rotation. Suspending a pitcher for 5 days seems like a useless penalty. It gives an extra day off.
