Mets pitcher Max Scherzer was suspended for 10 games by Major League Baseball on Thursday following his ejection for having a foreign substance on his hand during a game.
Scherzer appealed the suspension and US$10,000 fine imposed by Michael Hill, MLB's senior vice-president for on-field operations, and can continue to play until the appeal is decided. The appeal, which is usually scheduled to be held within 10 days, would be heard by MLB special adviser John McHale Jr.
Cuzzi determined after the second inning that Scherzer's hand was stickier and darker than normal and ordered Scherzer to wash his hand, which Scherzer said he did with alcohol while a Major League Baseball official watched. "He loved what his teammates did behind him," Showalter said. "He's a very competitive guy, but he also always wants to do what's best for the team."
Asked whether he expected Scherzer to pitch Tuesday after appealing his suspension, Showalter was non-committal.
