Padres Pitcher Robert Suárez Suspended 10 Games for Using Banned Substances, Appeals Pending

  • Suárez was ejected from a game against the Marlins for having sticky substances on his arm and wrist.
  • He claims the substance was just sunscreen, but MLB determined it was an illegal sticky substance.
  • Suárez is the sixth pitcher suspended this season for using banned sticky substances on the mound.
  • Other suspended pitchers include Max Scherzer, Domingo Germán, Héctor Santiago, Caleb Smith, and Drew Smith.
  • Suárez has appealed the 10-game suspension, so it is on hold until after his hearing.
