Mariners' Victor Robles Suspended 10 Games for Bat Throwing

Seattle Mariners outfielder Victor Robles has been suspended for 10 games and fined an undisclosed amount by Major League Baseball for throwing his bat at pitcher Joey Estes during a Triple-A rehab game. The incident occurred after Robles was nearly hit by an inside pitch, leading to his ejection from the game. Robles, who is recovering from a shoulder injury, has appealed the suspension, which will take effect once he returns to the Mariners' active roster. He apologized on social media, attributing his frustration to the challenges of rehab and the recent passing of his mother. The Mariners' president of baseball operations noted the suspension will alter their original plan to recall Robles next week. Despite the suspension, Robles remains a valuable depth player for the Mariners as they pursue the AL West Division title.
