"Abreu's Suspension Deferred to 2024, Pitching in Game 7"

Bryan Abreu's two-game suspension for intentionally throwing at Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia has been upheld but will be delayed until the start of the 2024 season. This means Abreu, the Houston Astros' primary setup reliever, will be available to pitch in Game 7 of the American League Championship Series. Abreu denied hitting Garcia on purpose and appealed the ban, allowing him to pitch in Game 6. The suspension was deemed reasonable but not appropriate to affect such an important game. Abreu would also be eligible to pitch in the World Series if the Astros advance.
