Astros' Ronel Blanco Suspended For Foreign Substance

May 16, 2024 9:51 AM

Houston Astros pitcher Ronel Blanco has been suspended 10 games by Major League Baseball after was ejected from Tuesday's game when umpires found a foreign substance on his glove.

Blanco was also fined an undisclosed amount. He will not appeal.

Dana Brown said Blanco and his agent initially thought about appealing the suspension, but they determined that they want to "move forward" and "get back out there."

"Ronel Blanco is a good human being, a good dude and he's worked his butt off to get into the starting rotation," Brown said. "I think he sees it as, 'Look, I don't want to be out. I don't want to extend this any longer. I want to get back to the business of pitching.'"

Four Suspended For Roles In Brewers-Rays Brawl

May 2, 2024 8:36 AM

Four people, including Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy, have been suspended for their roles that led to a bench-clearing incident between the Brewers and Tampa Bay Rays in the eighth inning on Tuesday night.

Brewers starting pitcher Freddy Peralta received a five-game suspension for intentionally throwing at Jose Siri during the top of the sixth inning, while reliever Abner Uribe received six games after he and Siri squared off against each other two innings later.

Siri received a three-game suspension -- that was later reduced to two games -- while Murphy will miss two games as a result of Peralta's actions in addition to his inappropriate conduct toward umpires.
