Is the MLB suspending every pitcher who throws at heads?

My question is: If they suspended Josh Beckett for throwing at Bobby Abreu's head and missing, will they be suspending other pitchers for actually hitting the batter's head?

I say this only because last night Kevin Youkilis was hit in the head.

"With Dustin Pedroia on base, Orioles reliever Danys Baez hit Youkilis in the head with a 93-mph fastball, the ball glancing off his helmet and caroming towards the Red Sox dugout. Youkilis sat for a moment, but quickly stood, and walked to first base without a problem, accompanied by trainers and manager Terry Francona." Projo Sports Blog 4/17/09

So you gotta think, that reliever Baez will be suspended too, right? Let's hope that MLB gets it right. If you do it for one, you have to do it for all.
