After serving his four-game suspension for throwing his bat during an argument with umpires, catcher Willson Conteras was activated on Tuesday by the St. Louis Cardinals.
Initially suspended for six games, Contreras appealed his discipline and had the suspension reduced by two games. St. Louis went 2-2 during his suspension.
Contreras struck out in the seventh inning of the Aug. 25 home game against the Pittsburgh Pirates and was ejected for arguing with umpire Derek Thomas. He also bumped Thomas and unleashed foul language at the umpire, according to Major League Baseball.
The outburst continued as Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol and hitting coach Brant Brown held Contreras back from the umpire. After tossing his helmet onto the ground, Contreras tossed his bat behind him, hitting Brown in the arm. He finished off the tirade with a bubble gum toss from the dugout.
Contreras, 33, is batting .254 with 20 home runs and a career-best 78 RBIs in 130 games for the Cardinals.
Contreras was a three-time All-Star during his seven-year stint with the Chicago Cubs and is a career .257 batter with 172 homers and 546 RBIs in 1,073 games.
