CHICAGO — New York Mets closer Edwin Díaz is facing a 10-game suspension after he was 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 started cracking down on pitchers using foreign substances to improve their grip and spin rates in 2021. Three have been Mets, including Max Scherzer and Drew Smith last year.
