The Seattle Mariners were taking part in the MLB Little League Classic on Sunday night in Williamsport, Pa. As the Mariners were taking in the unique environment taking on the Mets in front of Little League World Series players and their families, there was some chaos in the Mariners’ minor league system, involving outfielder Victor Robles.
Robles is currently on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma, as he works his way back from a dislocated left shoulder suffered back in April. But during this assignment, Robles has been hit by pitches multiple times. On Sunday, Robles was hit by yet another pitch, but took things too far in reacting to them.
Robles was hit in the right shoulder by Joey Estes, Athletic’s minor league starting pitcher. Immediately after getting hit, Robles threw his bat at Estes and approached the mound as he was being held back. Robles was ejected from the game and before his exit, Robles threw a bucket of drinks onto the field.
