Bryan Abreu will file an appeal against the contentious ban in the midst of the Astros’ precarious comeback
Bryan Abreu isn’t going to take his most recent ban lightly. Abreu was ejected in a flurry of activity because officials thought he purposely struck Adolis Garcia with a pitch. Abreu received a two-game ban in addition to three ejections.
Any suspension is, of course, appealable. Should it occur, the suspension is postponed until a resolution is reached. Bryan Abreu now faces an uncertain timeframe, according to Bob Nightengale.
He tweeted on X:
“Houston Astros reliever Bryan Abreu plans to appeal his 2-game suspension today officially. It remains unknown whether the hearing will be before or after a potential Game 7 of the ALCS. If Astros win tonight, Abreu could be suspended 1 or 2 games of the World Series.”

Astros reliever Bryan Abreu is officially appealing: If a settlement is not reached between the union and MLB, a hearing is expected to take place Monday before a potential Game 7 between the Astros-Rangers.

Abreu is permitted to participate even though the hearing is still ongoing and is anticipated to happen between Games 6 and a possible Game 7. Under the unlikely scenario, if the MLB suspends players, it would be reversed, in which case the two games would begin immediately. This implies that he will play tonight, but after that, he may miss one or both of the next two World Series games.
There might be two games left against the Texas Rangers before the Houston Astros return to the World Series if they win tonight.
Bryan Abreu is contesting the ban
Adolis Garcia gave the Texas Rangers the lead early in the game, but Bryan Abreu hit him with a pitch. That did not sit well with the outfielder, and there was a conflict.
Dusty Baker, the manager of the Astros, Abreu, and Garcia were all removed from the game. Houston seemed to be fired up by it, as they took a 3-2 lead on the road in the ninth inning with a three-run home run.
However, there has been some controversy about Abreu’s ban, particularly given that Garcia received no punishment. This is being taken to the league by the Astros reliever, and it might be reversed.
Otherwise, he might not be around for the start of the World Series. Given that the Astros aren’t yet in the World Series, he would rather take that risk than skip Game 6 and maybe Game 7.
