Overview

• MLB announced the discipline Friday, issuing Iglesias a one-game suspension and undisclosed fine, and fining Bogaerts for unprofessional conduct toward umpires.
• The penalties stem from a confrontation as the umpiring crew exited near the Padres’ dugout after Chicago’s 3-1 Game 3 win that ended San Diego’s season, an exchange captured on widely viewed video.
• The flashpoint was a full-count pitch to Bogaerts in the ninth that was called strike three; broadcast visuals suggested a ball while some tracking indicated it clipped the zone.
• Per MLB’s on-field operations guidance, an appeal by Iglesias would delay enforcement, otherwise the suspension will be served on his first day listed as active in 2026.
• Bogaerts criticized the call afterward and pointed to MLB’s automated ball-strike challenge system set to debut next season as a safeguard against similar disputes.
