Can’t make this stuff up:

Maton appeared in 67 games for the Astros in the regular season, logging a 3.84 ERA.
“It was a short-sighted move and, ultimately, it was selfish,” Maton told reporters about punching his locker in anger after his outing in the regular-season finale. “It’s one of those things that I hope doesn’t affect our team moving forward.”
So if you’re keeping track, Robertson injured himself celebrating a home run and Nick Maton’s brother had season-ending surgery because he punched his locker and broke his pinky finger.
