TORONTO -- Toronto FC officially parted ways with on-loan goalkeeper Julio Cesar on Friday, saying the Brazilian international had returned to Queens Park Rangers. Jonjo Shelvey Jersey . The 34-year-old Cesar joined Toronto in February and made seven league appearances with a 3-4-0 record and two shutouts. He earned MLS Save of the Week honours in Week 7. The Cesar loan was always a marriage of convenience. Cesar had fallen down the depth chart at QPR last season, which was operating under reduced circumstances in Englands second-tier Championship. His weekly wages there were pegged at between 70,000 and 100,000 pounds (C$128,500 and $183,500). He needed games to stay on track to start for Brazil and the World Cup. For manager Ryan Nelsen, who also played at QPR, and Toronto, it was a chance to get a seasoned world-class goalie at a reduced price. Cesar also brought the allure of having of the Brazilian No. 1 at Toronto FC. And he served as unofficial tutor to Joe Bendik, who has regained his No. 1 status since Cesars departure and current backup Chris Konopka. Cesars exit was not unexpected. While the loan was initially said to last through December, Nelsen said before the World Cup that it was unlikely Cesar would return because QPR wanted him back. "On behalf of everyone at Toronto FC, Id like to send our sincere thanks to QPR for the opportunity to bring Julio to Toronto," Toronto GM Tim Bezbatchenko said in a statement Friday. "Wed also like to thank Julio for everything he brought to our club. He made an immediate impact and all of us are better for it." In truth, Toronto probably did not need him back. Bendik, 25, has been excellent with a 4-1-5 record and two shutouts Cesar could still be on the move. QPR has a No. 1 keeper in England international Robert Green, who made 48 appearances last season as QPR won promotion to the Premier League. Green, who posted a club-record eight straight shutouts last October, signed a two-year contract extension earlier this month. Retirement after the World Cup is not in the cards, Cesar said in May. "Im still under contract for the next two years." The classy Brazilian said his stint at Toronto was a new life. As a thank you, the team had one of Cesars favourite pictures, with the words New Life, framed as a gift. He accepted it with tears. "The guys in that locker-room, the way that he embraced us and we embraced him was very special," said Bendik. Speaking through an interpreter prior to leaving for the World Cup in his native Brazil, Cesar said his time in Toronto was well spent. "I feel like Im a better person being here after three months and experiencing what the club has had to offer me and getting me ready for the World Cup," he said. The veteran Brazilian has already won five Italian titles, seven Italian cups, the Champions League and the FIFA Club World Cup. He was named Serie A Goalkeeper of the Year twice and nominated for the Ballon dOr award in 2009. He has been a class act in Toronto, winning praise from coaches and teammates alike for his ability as a player and easy-going personality. "Its just a pleasure to have a man like that on the team," Nelsen said in May. Bendik, who started the season as a backup to the Brazilian despite signing a new, enriched deal after winning the No. 1 job last year, has credited Cesar for making him a better goalie and calls him a friend.

MILWAUKEE -- Miami Marlins pitcher Anthony DeSclafani was suspended for three games and Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Mike Fiers was fined for their actions after Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton got hit in the face by a pitch from Fiers. Major League Baseball announced the discipline Friday. The league said in a statement that DeSclafanis suspension and an undisclosed fine were for intentionally throwing a pitch at Milwaukees Carlos Gomez with a warning in place in the sixth inning of Thursdays game. Fiers received an undisclosed fine for what the league said were "his actions which contributed to the benches clearing." Stanton sustained multiple facial fractures, dental damage and cuts that needed stitches after being struck in the fifth inning in the 4-2 loss. Fiers hit Reed Johnson on a hand with his next pitch, and that triggered a benches-clearing shouting match. The suspension had been scheduled to begin Friday, when the Marlins opened a series against the Phillies in Philadelphia. However, the suspension was put on hold pending DeSclafanis appeal through the players association. Fiers left messages Friday for Stanton and Marlins manager Mike Redmond. "A lot of people who know the game of baseball, understand what happened, and know me personally, know that Im not looking to go throw at people. So its definitely an accident and we all hope it never happens and stuff like that never happens in this game, but unfortunately it does," Fiers said before Milwaukees game against Cincinnati. Ryan Bertrand England Jersey. Stanton said on Twitter earlier Friday he was "much better." "The amount of support I have received from you guys has been tremendous & Heartfelt," Stanton said. A front-runner for the NL MVP award, Stantons season likely ended Thursday night after the errant pitch. Blood poured from Stantons mouth before he was taken to a hospital. The Marlins said Stanton was expected back in Miami on Friday. The team has not definitively said his season is over, though manager Mike Redmond strongly suggested he does not expect Stanton back in 2014. Stanton leads the NL with 37 home runs and 105 RBIs. The Marlins have fading hopes for a National League wild card berth. The Brewers were 1 1/2 games back of Pittsburgh in the NL wild card race, and Fiers has been their best pitcher since getting called up from the minors in early August. Manager Ron Roenicke spoke with Fiers after Thursdays game and then before Fridays game, to make sure Fiers was OK and to get him re-focused to prepare for his next start. "Theres a lot going on and weve got a couple weeks left here," Fiers said. "We need to win games, but as long as hes fine, weve got to look past this."
