Major League Baseball announced the following suspensions for players involved in the on-field incident in Pittsburgh on Sunday, April 20th.
- Milwaukee Brewers
- Martin Maldonado — 5 games (Accepted — Will serve from 4/22–4/27)
- Carlos Gomez — 3 games (Appealing)
- Pittsburgh Pirates
- Travis Snider — 2 games (Appealing)
- Russell Martin — 1 game (Appealing)
All players were fined as well.
Suspensions can be appealed or they are effective immediately. Carlos Gomez previously indicated that he would appeal any levied suspension.
Of note, Snider got fewer games than Gomez, which makes little sense to me. I’d also like to point out that Gerrit Cole, whose expressed feelings incited all of this, was not suspended.
