Seattle, USA – Dominican outfielder Victor Robles had his ten-game suspension reduced to seven games, following the appeal filed after the incident that occurred during his rehabilitation process in the minor leagues, where he threw a bat at pitcher Joey Estes in the midst of a fit of frustration.

Major League Baseball (MLB) announced the decision this Friday, which forces the Seattle Mariners player to miss the next week of action, without the team being able to replace him on the roster. This will leave the franchise with only 25 players available in a crucial stretch of the season. Robles, who recently returned from a prolonged shoulder injury that kept him out for more than four months, has barely played 14 games in 2025, recording an average of .246/.267/.298 in 60 plate appearances. A discreet performance that contrasts with the brilliant 2024 campaign, when he batted for .328 in 77 games, which earned him a contract extension for two seasons and 9.75 million dollars. The Mariners will face the Cleveland Guardians this weekend in a key series for the American League Wild Card race, with a reduced bench and the absence of Robles. Instead, the manager will turn to Dominic Canzone and Luke Raley to cover right field, while they wait to recover the Dominican player after serving his suspension.
