Framber Valdezâs ejection on Tuesday night is going to cost him.
Major League Baseball hit the Detroit Tigers starter with a six-game suspension and an undisclosed fine on Wednesday. Tigers manager A.J. Hinch was assessed a one-game suspension and an undisclosed fine for Valdezâs actions, too. Hinch will serve his suspension on Wednesday night.
Itâs unclear if Valdez is going to appeal his suspension. If he does not, it will also start on Wednesday night. He would then be eligible to return on May 14 for a matchup with the New York Mets.
Valdez, however, did not see the suspension coming.
âI do not expect to get suspended,â Valdez said on Tuesday night, via The Athletic. âIf it would have been on purpose, I would have gone towards the hitter, saying something, yelling something, threatening them or something like that, which didnât 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.â
Valdez was thrown out of the Tigersâ 10-3 loss to the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday night after he drilled Trevor Story in the shoulder. That led to his immediate ejection, and sparked a benches-clearing incident.
The benches-clearing moment didnât really lead to much. Story was held back and kept away from Valdez, and it ended up being a bunch of players standing around before the two sides were eventually separated. When it comes to benches-clearing incidents, this one was undoubtedly on the tame end, as there was no brawl whatsoever.
Framber Valdez was suspended for six games due to his ejection during a benches-clearing dispute in a game against the Red Sox.
A.J. Hinch has been suspended for one game, which he will serve on Wednesday night.
If Framber Valdez does not appeal his suspension, he will be eligible to return on May 14 for a game against the New York Mets.

But the pitch in question came immediately after Valdez gave up back-to-back home runs. Willson Contreras and Wilyer Abreu each hit solo shots to start the fourth inning, which pushed the Red Soxâs lead to eight runs at the time.
It even drew criticism from Hinch.
âWe play a really good brand of baseball here. That didn't feel like it,â Hinch told the Detroit Newsâ Chris McCosky. âI'm not judging intent. But I know when you go out on the field in those confrontations, you usually feel like you are in your right. It didn't feel good being out there.â
Valdezâs pitch was classified as a four-seam fastball. Valdez has thrown only a single four-seamer all season. He told The Athletic after the game that there was no ill-intent on the pitch, and called his ejection âcompletely unfair.â
âIt wasnât intentional or anything. Anybody can have a pitch get away from them in that situation,â Valdez said through an interpreter.
Valdez signed a three-year, $115 million deal with Detroit this past offseason. The 32-year-old holds a 2-2 record in eight starts this season with a 4.57 ERA.
