A day after being ejected from his start against the Dodgers for pitching with a foreign substance, Mets ace Max Scherzer has been suspended 10 games by MLB, the league announced Thursday.
Scherzer was also issued a $10,000 fine, and is planning on appealing the decision, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post.
Scherzer was checked by umpires twice before being tossed from Wednesday’s game. During an interaction with first base umpire Phil Cuzzi, the right-hander pleaded his case, arguing that the substance on his glove and hand was merely sweat and rosin.
