Overview
- The league issued a one-game suspension and an undisclosed fine for Uribe after he turned toward the St. Louis dugout and made three crotch-chop gestures following a close strikeout.
- The gesture occurred Tuesday during Milwaukee’s game at American Family Field and prompted immediate criticism from both clubs.
- Uribe has appealed the ruling so the suspension is stayed and he is available to pitch while the appeals process runs.
- Brewers manager Pat Murphy called the behavior embarrassing and Uribe apologized to his team while also accusing Cardinals manager Oli Marmol of provocative actions.
- Uribe’s prior on-field suspension from an April 2024 benches-clearing brawl informs MLB’s response and if the one-game ban is upheld the Brewers would have to play a man short and adjust bullpen plans for that game.
