During the Game 2 broadcast on Saturday night, Tom Verducci of FOX said that Maldonado had learned from MLB earlier in the day that the bat he had used on Friday was not authorised.

Maldonado borrowed the bat from Albert Pujols because he believed it to be a comparable size and weight to the one he normally used.
