Sainz admitted to spitting at Sunderland's Chris Mepham in December at the Stadium of Light.
"Spitting at an opponent is completely out of character for me, and my reaction in that moment was unacceptable," said Sainz in a statement.
"I want to apologise directly to the opposing player, Chris Mepham, for my behaviour.
"Additionally, I extend my apologies to my teammates, our coaching staff and our fans. I am deeply disappointed in myself and for letting all of you down through my conduct."
