Mets closer Edwin Díaz faces an automatic 10-game suspension.
New York Mets relief pitcher Edwin Díaz reacts after being ejected by their base umpire Vic Carapazza during the ninth inning of a baseball game against the Chicago Cubs in Chicago, Sunday, June 23, 2024. On Sunday night, Díaz was ejected before he threw a pitch in the ninth inning of the Mets’ 5-2 win against the Chicago Cubs because his hands were too sticky, an incident that was not surprising to some in baseball, according to ESPN MLB insider Buster Olney.
MLB implemented foreign-substance checks on pitchers in June 2021 and it has cracked down further in the following seasons.. “Discolored. That was that. It definitely wasn’t rosin and sweat. We’ve checked thousands of these. I know what that feeling is. This was very sticky.” The hard-throwing right-hander possesses one of the best fastball-slider combinations in baseball, though both of those pitches have not been their elite selves consistently this season. As a result, Díaz sports a 4.70 ERA with only seven saves and four blown saves. He has 33 strikeouts in 23 innings.Yankees dump infielder for J.D.
