Manny Machado now knows when Major League Baseball will hear his case.
The Baltimore Orioles star's appeal of his four-game suspension for punching Kansas City Royals pitcher Yordano Ventura will reportedly be heard on Tuesday, according to Eduardo Encina of the Baltimore Sun.
Machado charged the mound and threw punches at Ventura, triggering a bench-clearing brawl, after the pitcher drilled him with a fastball on June 7. The beaning came one at-bat after the two exchanged words following Machado's fly out. Afterwards, the 23-year-old expressed no regrets about his actions.

Ventura received a nine-game ban for his role in the incident, which he has also appealed.
