Brewers’ Uribe suspended 6 games for brawl, Peralta 5 and Murphy 2 while Rays’ Siri penalized 2

Milwaukee reliever Abner Uribe was suspended for six games and starter Freddy Peralta for five on Wednesday for their roles in a brawl during a Brewers’ game against the Tampa Bay Rays.

Rays outfielder Jose Siri was suspended for three games, a penalty later cut to two, and Milwaukee manager Pat Murphy for two by Mike Hill, Major League Baseball’s senior vice president for on-field operations. All four also were fined.

Murphy started his suspension on Wednesday, when associate manager Rickie Weeks led the team against the Rays.

Uribe and Peralta appealed to MLB special assistant John McHale Jr., and their discipline remained pending until the appeal is resolved. Later Wednesday, Uribe was optioned to Triple-A Nashville.

Siri dropped his appeal as part of an agreement cutting the penalty to two games, and he served the first game as the Rays lost 7-1 Wednesday.

MLB cited Peralta for intentionally throwing at Siri, and Murphy was cited for Peralta’s actions plus “inappropriate conduct towards umpires.” Uribe was disciplined for causing a benches-clearing incident and Siri for his actions during the incident.
