certainty in our doubt,
and courage to live through this hour.

After Throwing a Bat At a Pitcher, Mariners' Victor Robles Gets His Punishment

Major League Baseball After Throwing a Bat At a Pitcher, Mariners' Victor Robles Gets His Punishment Updated Aug. 19, 2025 7:37 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link Seattle Mariners outfielder Victor Robles received a 10-game suspension and an undisclosed fine for his conduct during the third inning of a Sunday game in Las Vegas during a rehab assignment, Major League Baseball announced Tuesday. Robles is currently with the Triple-A Tacoma Rainiers of the Pacific Coast League as he recovers from a shoulder injury. Seattle President of Baseball Operations Jerry Dipoto told reporters before the Mariners game against the Philadelphia Phillies Tuesday that the original plan was for the team to recall Robles next week, but now the suspension will change the Mariners' plans. Las Vegas starter Joey Estes' first pitch to Robles in the third inning was inside and Robles whacked at it to avoid getting hit. After taking a few steps behind the plate and dropping his bat, Robles picked up the bat and threw it in Estes' direction and was immediately ejected from the game by home plate umpire Joe McCarthy. Robles, who has been hit by a pitch three times in his previous four games with Tacoma including once previously by Estes, took some steps toward the mound while yelling at the pitcher but was held back by McCarthy and his Tacoma teammates. ADVERTISEMENT Robles issued an apology on his Instagram account following the incident. "I want to take a moment to sincerely apologize for my recent reaction on the field," he wrote in an Instagram story. "I let my frustration get the best of me, and I understand how that may have affected not just the game, but the energy and respect we all work so hard to maintain. "Coming off a long rehab and being away from the game for most of the season has been physically and mentally challenging. Adding to that, the recent passing of my mother has been incredibly hard, and I've been doing my best to hold it together. That's not an excuse, but some context I feel you deserve to understand where I'm coming from." The suspension is to be effective on the first day Robles returns to the Mariners' active roster. He is not allowed to play in any game, including additional rehab games in the minors, once the suspension begins. He will be allowed to participate in pre-game workouts with the Mariners. Robles is appealing, so the disciplinary action is on hold until that process is complete. Reporting by The Associated Press. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?

Racist abuse will 'not bring down' Tottenham's Tel

Tottenham forward Mathys Tel says the online racist abuse he received after the club's recent defeat in the Uefa Super Cup will not "bring him down". The 20-year-old Frenchman was the target of abusive messages on social media after Spurs lost the match 4-3 on penalties after letting a two-goal lead slip in normal time. Tel came on as a substitute in the 79th minute and was one of two Spurs players who failed to convert from the spot in the penalty shootout. Spurs said they were "disgusted" by the abuse and those who sent the messages to Tel, who joined the north London club from Bayern Munich permanently in the summer, were "nothing but cowards". Speaking for the first time since the incident in a post on his Instagram account Tel said he wanted to say "thank you" for all the "messages of support" he had received. "I was also disappointed about Wednesday night but racism has no place in our society. Every day is a learning curve, and every day is a lesson," Tel said. "I know where I come from, where I started and none of this will bring me down. With work and humility, respect reigns." Tel's comments come in the wake of racist abuse suffered by Bournemouth player Antoine Semenyo in their opening match of the Premier League season against Liverpool at Anfield. Last Friday's game with the current champions was briefly halted in the 29th minute after Semenyo flagged it up to the referee. A 47-year-old man from Liverpool, who was arrested by Merseyside Police on Saturday on suspicion of a racially aggravated public order offence, has been conditionally bailed.
