Mets closer Edwin Díaz is facing a 10-game suspension after being ejected due to substances on his hand during Sunday's win over the Cubs.
New York Mets closer Edwin Díaz is facing a 10-game suspension after being ejected from the team's 5-2 win over the Chicago Cubs on Sunday night for having a foreign substance on his hand. Díaz would be the eighth pitcher suspended for sticky stuff since MLB cracked down on pitchers attempting to use foreign substances to improve their grip and spin rates in 2021. Three of them have been Mets, including Max Scherzer and Drew Smith last year.
' Díaz, who said he was 'really surprised' by the ejection, was not certain whether he'll appeal the suspension. 'I use the same thing always,' Díaz said. 'I rub rosin and sweat and put my hand in the dirt a little bit to get a grip on the ball.' He's the third Mets pitcher to be ejected for such an offense in the last year. Smith, who was ejected and suspended 10 games last year for a similar offense, got two outs in place of Díaz.
