Santana appealed the suspension and is eligible to play while the incident is being reviewed.
Santana told reporters afterward that he believed the fan "crossed the line," though he declined to disclose what the fan said.
After jumping at the fan, Santana was escorted away by Pirates bullpen personnel and held back by a teammate.
"You guys know me -- I'm a calm demeanor type of person," Santana said after Thursday's game through an interpreter.
Santana entered the game in the ninth inning, pitching to one batter before the game was delayed by rain.
