Seattle Mariners outfielder Victor Robles was ejected from a rehab game with Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday after throwing his bat toward Las Vegas Aviators pitcher Joey Estes. The incident quickly turned into one of the most talked-about moments in minor league baseball this week.

What Happened in the Game?

In the third inning, Estes delivered an inside pitch. Robles swung awkwardly to avoid being hit, dropped his bat, then picked it up and hurled it toward the mound. Plate umpire Joe McCarthy wasted no time and immediately ejected him from the game.

Heated Reactions on the Field

Robles has been hit by pitches three times in his last four Triple-A appearances.

Frustrated, he shouted at the pitcher while taking steps toward him.

Umpire McCarthy and Aviators teammates quickly intervened to calm the situation.

After heading to the dugout, Robles escalated further by throwing a box of snacks onto the field before leaving for the clubhouse.

Why This Matters for the Mariners

The Seattle Mariners are counting on Victor Robles as part of their outfield depth. This ejection not only disrupts his rehab assignment with Tacoma but also raises questions about his discipline, mental focus, and future role in the major league roster. Mariners’ management will likely address the issue and determine whether further action is needed.
