MLB bails out Victor Robles, Mariners with surprising suspension decision

After throwing his bat at a pitcher while on a minor league rehab assignment, Seattle Mariners outfielder Victor Robles moved to appeal the 10-game suspension that Major League Baseball levied as a punishment.

It worked, as the Mariners announced Friday that Robles' suspension has been reduced to seven games. He'll begin serving it today, making him eligible to return on September 6.

Per Major League Baseball, outfielder Victor Robles will serve a 7-game suspension beginning today, Aug. 29.

It's still a hefty suspension that will leave the Mariners without one of their best energy sources for the bulk of a nine-game road trip.
