Yankees Pitcher Domingo Germán Suspended 10 Games for Using Foreign Substance

  • Germán was ejected from a game against the Blue Jays after umpires found a sticky substance on his pitching hand.
  • Germán claimed he was only using rosin from the pitchers' bag, but umpires found his hand to be "extremely sticky."
  • Germán's ejection was his second of the season and MLB's fourth since initiating a crackdown on foreign substances two years ago.
  • The Yankees starting rotation has been hampered by injuries this season, and Germán's suspension will add to their troubles.
  • The automatic 10-game suspension cannot be appealed and began immediately.
