Milwaukee Brewers Pitcher Abner Uribe Suspended After Hitting WWE-Style Crotch-Chop as Strikeout Celebration
Uribe is appealing the penalty and can keep pitching while MLB reviews the one-game ban for his dugout celebration.
- On Friday, Major League Baseball suspended Milwaukee Brewers reliever Abner Uribe one game for 'inappropriate actions' toward the St. Louis Cardinals dugout during Tuesday's shutout at American Family Field.
- Uribe performed a 'crotch-chop' gesture after striking out Alec Burleson on Tuesday, later claiming Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol was gesturing to hit Brewers batters during the series.
- Brewers manager Pat Murphy called the gesture 'unacceptable,' while Christian Yelich stated the clubhouse tensions had been handled both internally and through direct communication with the Cardinals.
- Uribe is appealing the league's decision, allowing him to continue pitching while the case remains unresolved, which delays the suspension originally scheduled to begin Friday night.
- This marks the second career suspension for the 25-year-old pitcher, who previously served six games and paid $24,108 for his role in a 2024 brawl against the Tampa Bay Rays.
