Edwin Díaz became the eighth pitcher suspended for sticky stuff since MLB cracked down on pitchers attempting to use foreign substances to improve their grip…

New York Mets closer Edwin Díaz was suspended 10 games on Monday by Major League Baseball after his ejection from a 5-2 win over the Chicago Cubs for having a foreign substance on his hand.

After the two-game series, the Mets host three games against Houston. They would have to player short a man during a suspension. “We’ve checked thousands of these,” Carapazza said. “I know what that feeling is. This was very sticky.”“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."

Díaz missed all of 2023 following knee surgery and struggled early this season. He had four blown saves and a 5.40 ERA before going on the injured list with a right shoulder impingement in May. He'd been much sharper since returning, with three scoreless outings of an inning each.
