The MLB has recently suspended Houston Astros pitcher, Yohan Abreu, for intentionally throwing at Chicago White Sox outfielder, Leury García. This suspension comes after Abreu threw a pitch that sailed behind García during a game between the two teams on April 28th.
The incident occurred in the bottom of the sixth inning when Abreu threw a pitch that sailed behind García’s head. After the pitch was thrown, both benches cleared and the umpires warned both teams. Abreu was ejected from the game and the MLB subsequently suspended him for three games.
This is not the first time Abreu has been involved in an incident of this nature. In 2019, he was suspended for five games after intentionally throwing at a batter. It is clear that Abreu has a history of throwing at batters and the MLB has taken notice.
The suspension of Abreu is a reminder to all MLB players that intentionally throwing at batters will not be tolerated. It is important for players to remember that they are role models and should act accordingly. Intentionally throwing at batters is dangerous and can lead to serious injury.
The MLB has made it clear that they will not stand for any player intentionally throwing at batters and will take action when necessary. It is important for players to remember that their actions have consequences and that they should always act with respect and sportsmanship.
