Milwaukee Brewers reliever Abner Uribe served his one-game suspension Wednesday night, nearly a month after Major League Baseball handed down the penalty. The suspension took effect for Milwaukee's game against the Cincinnati Reds. The Brewers completed a three-game sweep with a 6-5 win.
Background on the suspension Uribe was suspended and fined an undisclosed amount on May 29, three days after he celebrated an inning-ending strikeout by making three WWE-style crotch chops while facing St. Louis' dugout during a 6-0 victory over the Cardinals.
When the suspension was announced, Uribe said he planned to appeal it. He instead opted to serve the penalty Wednesday as part of a settlement agreement. Uribe has pitched four of the past five days, so he was unlikely to be available to pitch Wednesday anyway.
Season statistics Uribe is 4-2 with a 3.38 ERA and five saves in 31 appearances this season. He has struck out 31 in 29 1/3 innings.
