HOUSTON (AP) -San Diego Padres catcher Michael Barrett dropped his appeal and decided to serve his one-game suspension Friday, sitting out the team’s game against the Houston Astros.
The suspension stemmed from his ejection July 22 for arguing a third strike with home plate umpire Chris Guccione. Barrett, who was acquired in a trade with the Cubs in exchange for catcher Rob Bowen and minor league outfielder Kyler Burke June 20, has hit .263 in 23 games with San Diego.
“There’s no good time but we’ve got to do it some time,” manager Bud Black said. “We didn’t want to wait and have this thing drag out.”
Josh Bard replaced Barrett in the starting lineup Friday.
