Cardinals' Nolan Arenado, Genesis Cabrera suspended for roles in Mets melee

On Thursday, MLB confirmed multiple punishments handed down as a result of that melee. 

According to the official league website, Arenado has been suspended two games and given an undisclosed fine "for contributing to the incitement of the incident." Additionally, St. Louis relief pitcher Genesis Cabrera was suspended one game and handed an undisclosed fine "for his actions during the incident." 

"I'm not sure what that [appeal] process looks like, but he will appeal and Cabrera served his suspension today," manager Oliver Marmol said. "I respect the decision that the league took [with Arenado], but obviously it's being appealed for a reason."  

Nobody associated with the Mets earned suspensions. However, Lopez was fined "for contributing to the incitement of the incident." New York Mets starter Taijuan Walker and Jack Flaherty of the Cardinals were both hit with fines for taking part in the skirmish while on the injured list. 

Multiple Mets, including right-hander Chris Bassitt and slugger Pete Alonso, vocally expressed frustrations this week over the fact that the Amazins have had an MLB-high 19 players hit by pitches across the first 20 games of the season. The 14-6 Mets are scheduled to have a meeting with an MLB executive to discuss the topic on Friday before they host the Philadelphia Phillies at Citi Field later that night.
