Milwaukee Brewers reliever Abner Uribe was suspended by MLB for one game for the DX chop celebration<\/a> he directed toward the St. Louis Cardinals dugout after a strikeout in his club’s Tuesday shutout win, per MLB.com’s Adam McCalvy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Uribe also received a fine for what MLB described as “inappropriate actions,” per McCalvy. He is appealing MLB’s decision, per ESPN’s Jeff Passan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The incident took place after Uribe struck out the Cardinals’ Alec Burleson in Tuesday’s eighth inning.<\/p>\n

Uribe allowed one hit, one walk and struck out two batters while pitching one inning in the Brewers’ 6-0 win.<\/p>\n

He was originally scheduled to serve out his suspension during the Brewers’ Friday night game at the Houston Astros, according to MLB.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That will now be delayed until MLB makes a decision regarding Uribe’s appeal, per MLB.com.<\/p>\n

Uribe’s celebration did not receive support following the incident from Brewers manager Pat Murphy, who spoke out against the pitcher’s decision after the win.<\/p>\n

“That’s just unacceptable. I don’t know what got over him. I mean, he’s been an emotional guy, but that kind of thing, that’s just not how we do things,” Murphy said Tuesday. “I was embarrassed by it.”<\/p>\n

Uribe said through a translator after the game he felt he owed an apology to the Brewers.<\/p>\n

“I understand that’s unacceptable to go out there and react in a way like that,” Uribe said.<\/p>\n

Uribe also accused Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol of “making signs toward our dugout saying that he’s going to be hitting guys” during Monday’s series opener.<\/p>\n

This marks the second career suspension<\/a> for Uribe, who sat out six games for his role in a brawl<\/a> against the Tampa Bay Rays on May 1, 2024. Uribe was also fined $24,108 for that previous suspension.<\/p>\n

Uribe is playing in his fourth season with the Brewers. He has appeared in 21 games during Milwaukee’s 33-20 start to the season, pitching 19.1 innings while allowing 15 hits and eight walks while striking out 21 batters for a 4.19 ERA.<\/p>\n

He joins Trevor Megill, Aaron Ashby, DL Hall and Grant Anderson as one of five Brewers relievers to have appeared in at least 20 games this season.<\/p>\n

The Brewers are set to begin their weekend road series against the Houston Astros Friday night at 8:10 p.m. ET. After sweeping the Cardinals, the NL Central leaders are riding a three-game win streak into the series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Milwaukee Brewers reliever Abner Uribe was suspended by MLB for one game for the DX chop celebration he…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":703089,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[558],"tags":[64,63,591,85],"class_list":["post-703088","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/703088","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=703088"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/703088\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/703089"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=703088"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=703088"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=703088"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
