Milwaukee Brewers reliever Abner Uribe will serve a one-game suspension during his team's game against the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday night. ESPN reported that Major League Baseball issued the suspension on May 29, nearly a month before it takes effect as the Brewers attempt to complete a three-game sweep.
Uribe received the suspension and an undisclosed fine after celebrating an inning-ending strikeout by making three WWE-style crotch chops while facing the Cardinals' dugout.
The incident occurred during a 6-0 Brewers victory on May 26. Uribe initially stated he planned to appeal the suspension but instead reached a settlement agreement to serve the penalty. He has pitched in four of the past five days.
Uribe holds a 4-2 record with a 3.38 ERA and five saves in 31 appearances this season. He has recorded 31 strikeouts in 29 1/3 innings pitched.
