Overview

• The discipline must be served at the major league level and will begin on the first day Robles is reinstated to the Mariners' active roster.
• Robles has appealed the suspension and fine, delaying enforcement until the appeals process is resolved.
• The Aug. 17 incident occurred in Tacoma’s game at Las Vegas when Robles threw his bat toward pitcher Joey Estes, leading to an immediate ejection by home plate umpire Joe McCarthy.
• Robles was on a rehab assignment from an April left-shoulder dislocation and small fracture, and he apologized, citing multiple recent hit-by-pitches and the recent death of his mother as context.
• Team leadership has indicated the timing of the suspension complicates activation plans as the club weighs roster moves heading into September.
