New York Mets Ace Pitcher Max Scherzer Suspended for 10 games after Ejection for Foreign Substance
- Max Scherzer, a pitcher for the New York Mets, was ejected and faces suspension for having an illegal sticky substance on his hand during a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
- Scherzer claimed it was only rosin and sweat, but umpires said his hand was the stickiest they had ever felt.
- Scherzer faces an automatic 10-game suspension for violating MLB's rule prohibiting foreign substances, though he intends to appeal.
- The ejection and possible suspension further complicate the Mets' already injury-plagued pitching rotation.
- MLB has cracked down on pitchers' use of sticky substances this season, instructing umpires to conduct more frequent inspections of players.
