Overview

• On August 18, Robles threw his bat toward Aviators starter Joey Estes in the third inning of a Triple-A Tacoma–Las Vegas game after fouling off a high-and-inside pitch and was promptly ejected.
• He then tossed a box of snacks from the dugout and needed restraint from teammates before leaving the field.
• In an Instagram apology, Robles said he had been under physical and mental strain from his recovery from an April shoulder dislocation and grieving his mother’s death and noted he’d been hit five times in 15 at-bats.
• Media reports say Minor League Baseball is likely to impose a suspension and that Major League Baseball could also review the incident.
• The outcome of any discipline will not automatically alter his major-league roster status, leaving his timeline for rejoining the Mariners unresolved.
