What It Means:

Fiers won't appeal the ruling. The throw was in retaliation for Valbuena flipping his bat over a home run earlier in the contest. The umpiring crew didn't eject the right-hander from the game, but the higher-ups decided it was blatant enough to warrant a suspension.

Fiers owns a 5.22 ERA, 1.43 WHIP, and 21.9 strikeout percentage across 153.1 innings this season while going 8-10 in 28 starts (29 games). numberFire's models project him to twirl a 4.62 ERA and 1.33 WHIP with 15 strikeouts over the remainder of the year.
