Toronto Blue Jays manager John Gibbons is making a habit of watching his team close out games from the clubhouse instead of the dugout.

After coming out to defend Josh Donaldson in the top of the fifth inning - the reigning AL MVP was thrown at twice by Minnesota Twins right-hander Phil Hughes - Gibbons was ejected for the third time in the last seven days following an exchange with home-plate umpire Mark Ripperger and crew chief Joe West.

Gibbons, who returned to the dugout Friday after serving the three-game suspension he received for his role in last Sunday's melee with the Texas Rangers, has now been ejected four times in 2016.
