Astros reliever Abreu, who pitched in Game 6 of the ALCS, is appealing his ban for throwing at García.
HOUSTON (AP) — Astros reliever Bryan Abreu pitched in Game 6 of the AL Championship Series on Sunday night after appealing the two-game suspension he was given by Major League Baseball for intentionally throwing at Adolis García of the Texas Rangers in the previous game.
Abreu’s status was uncertain for Game 7 on Monday night, the same day his hearing was scheduled before John McHale Jr., special assistant to Commissioner Rob Manfred. The pitcher would be unavailable if the suspension is upheld and the ruling immediately enforced, and that would leave Houston a player short because the team would not be allowed to replace him on the active 26-player roster.

“That could be a huge blow. I thought about using him two innings today, had the decision been made,” Astros manager Dusty Baker said after his team’s 9-2 loss in Game 6. “But you’d hate to have the fine and the suspension go past tomorrow and then I wouldn’t have had Abreu tomorrow, had he gone two innings.”
Because of the appeal, Abreu was eligible to pitch in Game 6. He worked the eighth inning and struck out García before giving up an RBI double to Mitch Garver that extended Texas’ lead to 4-2.
