Victor Robles has received a 10-game suspension and an undisclosed fine for an incident during a Sunday rehab game in Las Vegas. While on a Tacoma Rainiers rehab assignment, Robles swung at an inside pitch, dropped his bat, then threw it toward the mound, triggering an immediate ejection. He is appealing, so the disciplinary action is on hold pending the appeal process. The action keeps Robles sidelined until he returns to Seattle’s active roster.

The suspension’s timing matters for fantasy managers. Robles is rehabbing a shoulder injury and working his way back through the Mariners’ system; the discipline will affect his availability once he re-enters the lineup, potentially opening up outfield opportunities for Seattle’s depth chart in the interim. As Robles navigates the appeal, fantasy rosters should monitor outfield competition and any call-ups from the organization.

In the broader context, Robles has been exposed to multiple hit-by-pitches recently in Tacoma, adding to the complexity of his return. While the discipline is in limbo, managers should plan for a few weeks of uncertainty around Robles’ role and roster spot, weighing the risk of delay against the upside of his return with the Mariners.
