Kansas City Royals left-handed reliever Amir Garrett expressed regret multiple times for throwing his drink at a fan who heckled him from the stands in Chicago earlier this month, but Major League Baseball’s central office decided to impose disciplinary action anyway.
MLB announced on Monday afternoon that Garrett had received a three-game suspension and an undisclosed fine for throwing a drink on a spectator in the stands during a game against the Chicago White Sox on August 2, at Guaranteed Rate Field.
The announcement came from Michael Hill, MLB’s senior vice president for on-field operations.
