"Soler charged the mound after a high pitch from Lopez, which he took exception to. The two exchanged words before the fight broke out, leading to their ejections."
"Lopez's actions during the fight, particularly throwing a punch with the baseball still in his hand, could result in significant punishment despite not instigating the altercation."
