Mariners' Victor Robles Ejected After Bat Incident, Issues Apology

Seattle Mariners outfielder Victor Robles was ejected from a Triple-A rehab game after throwing his bat toward the pitcher, Joey Estes, following a near inside pitch. Robles, who had been hit by a pitch three times in his previous four games with Triple-A Tacoma, also yelled at the pitcher and threw a box of snacks after entering the dugout. Robles later issued an apology via Instagram, citing frustration from his long rehab for a dislocated shoulder since April, a recent personal loss, and frequent hit-by-pitches during his rehab appearances. He is likely to face discipline from the league for his actions during the game.
