Astros' Hector Neris Reportedly Fined for Exchange with Mariners' Julio Rodríguez

Houston Astros reliever Hector Neris has been fined for his actions toward Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodríguez during a Sept. 27 matchup at T-Mobile Park, according to The Athletic's Chandler Rome.

Astros general manager Dana Brown said Thursday that Neris would not be suspended.

"I think at the end of the day they handed down maybe a fine or something, but I don't think he's going to be suspended," Brown said, "I think Neris acknowledged he got a little emotional. These things happen. It's sports. It's competitive. I think what came out was the fine.
