“My plan was to get the ball up and in, then slider down and away,” Abreu told reporters postgame.
The pitcher has also received an undisclosed fine but still has the option to appeal the suspension. “In assessing the matter, Major League Baseball took into account the dangerous nature of the pitch and its potential impact on player safety,” the MLB said in a statement released Saturday. Houston Astros pitcher Bryan Abreu has received a two-game suspension after it was deemed he intentionally hit Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis García with a pitch.
