Seattle Mariners outfielder Victor Robles received a 10-game suspension and an undisclosed fine for his conduct during the third inning of a Sunday game in Las Vegas during a rehab assignment, Major League Baseball announced Tuesday.

Robles hurt the Mariners by throwing his bat at a pitcher, and his 10-game suspension is fair. But he also shouldn’t be blindly dismissed or demonized, writes columnist Mike Vorel.

MLB insider Ben Verlander relayed a Tuesday announcement revealing Robles was suspended for 10 games and fined an "undisclosed" amount for throwing his bat at a pitcher during a rehab assignment for Triple-A Tacoma.
