The Seattle Mariners hold the final American League Wild Card spot heading into Labor Day Weekend action. With a three-game cushion over the Kansas City Royals, they are looking to pull away and clinch their second playoff berth since 2001. The Mariners just got Victor Robles back from injury, but have now lost him to a suspension for seven games.
“Victor Robles suspension has been reduced to 7 games upon appeal. He will begin serving it tonight,” Ryan Divish reported.
Robles was originally suspended for 10 games for throwing a bat at a pitcher during his AAA rehab stint. He played in four games while appealing the suspension, picking up just two hits. Now, he has to start his suspension immediately. Robles will miss all three games against the Cleveland Guardians and Tampa Bay Ray
