Seattle Mariners reliever Gabe Speier has been suspended for three games and fined an undisclosed amount after throwing at Tigers second baseman Gleyber Torres during Wednesday night's game, per MLB Trade Rumors. The pitch occurred in the eighth inning. Mariners manager Dan Wilson was suspended one game in connection with the incident.
Yahoo Sports reported that Speier's throw was in retaliation for an earlier hit batter, catcher Cal Raleigh, which resulted in benches clearing. Per MLB Trade Rumors, Speier is appealing the suspension, which means it is being held in abeyance pending the outcome of that process.
