“I want to take a moment to apologize sincerely for my recent reaction on the field,” he wrote. “I let my frustration take over on me, and I understand how it may affect not only the game, but the energy and the respect that we all work so hard to maintain.
“The release of a long rehabilitation and being far from the game for most of the season has been physically difficult and mentally difficult. Adding to that, my mother’s recent passage was incredibly difficult, and I do my best to hold it together. It is not an excuse, but a context, I think you deserve to understand where I come from.”
The suspension will be effective on the first day that Robles returns to the team’s active list. It is not allowed to play in a game, including additional rehabilitation games among minors, once the suspension at the start.
