Jose Iglesias Suspended One Game for Unprofessional Conduct
Jose Iglesias was given a one-game suspension from Major League Baseball and an undisclosed fine for unprofessional conduct toward the umpires after Game 3 of the wild-card round at Wrigley Field when the Padres were eliminated by the Chicago Cubs, according to ESPN's Jesse Rogers. Shortstop Xander Bogaerts was also fined. Iglesias could appeal the decision, but if he loses, he'll have to sit out Opening Day of the 2026 season if he's on an active roster. The 35-year-old veteran utility infielder will be a free agent this winter and could have to settle on a minor-league deal if he wants to continue his career into a 14th season. The Cuban native is a solid clubhouse guy and has a great glove on the infield, but he's not on the fantasy radar as a utility infielder that can't hit. Iglesias had a weak .229/.298/.294 slash line with only three homers, 36 RBI, and five steals in 112 regular-season games with SD during the regular season.
