Tigers' Framber Valdez Suspended Six Games For Throwing At Trevor Story

In addition to Valdez's suspension, Tigers manager A.J. Hinch also received a one-game suspension, which he will serve in the team's series finale against the Red Sox, and an undisclosed fine for the left-handed hurler's actions.

The suspension surely came as a surprise to Valdez, who did not expect to be suspended following his ejection on Tuesday.

“I do not expect to get suspended,” Valdez said, as transcribed by The Athletic's Cody Stavenhagen. “If it would have been on purpose, I would have gone towards the hitter, saying something, yelling something, threatening them or something like that, which didn’t happen. I was just calm, just staying out of the situation. I let the benches clear, and nothing happened. I even left the field in a quiet way, because, of course, it was not on purpose."

Though Valdez won't openly admit his intent to throw at Story, it was his first four-seam fastball of the entire season. The star pitcher has a history of letting his emotions get ahead of him and will now face the consequences from the benches-clearing moment.
