Uribe Suspended One Game Over Dugout Gesture Toward Cardinals
Major League Baseball suspended Brewers pitcher Abner Uribe for one game and fined him an undisclosed amount for a gesture directed at the Cardinals’ dugout after striking out Alec Burleson; the discipline is held in abeyance while his appeal is heard. Brewers manager Pat Murphy called the action unacceptable, Uribe apologized to Brewers personnel but not to the Cardinals and criticized Cardinals manager Oli Marmol for comments suggesting retaliation. If upheld, Milwaukee would be a man short for one game, though Uribe could drop the appeal before a game he wouldn’t be eligible to pitch anyway.
