MLB Senior Vice President for On-Field Operations Michael Hill announced that Arizona Diamondbacks left-handed pitcher Caleb Smith has received a 10-game suspension and an undisclosed fine after umpires discovered a foreign substance on his glove following the eighth inning of his team's Aug. 18 home game against the Philadelphia Phillies.
However, Smith has chosen to appeal the decision, so any punishment is temporarily halted until that case is finalized. The suspension would have started Tuesday.
