NEW YORK — Pitcher Domingo Germán of the New York Yankees was fined and given a ten-game suspension by Major League Baseball for using illegal substances while on the mound.

After Germán was ejected in the fourth inning of the Toronto game for what the umpire described as “the stickiest hand I’ve ever felt,” the punishment was declared.

“It was difficult for me to remove my fingers from his hand,” crew chief James Hoye said following the match.

Michael Hill, senior vice president of MLB’s on-field operations, administered the penalty. Without filing an appeal, Germán’s ban started in Toronto.

During his suspension, Germán cannot be replaced on the roster. He is eligible to play again on May 28 against San Diego, barring rainouts.

Steve Clevenger considers the offensive comments he made about Taboola Skip on Twitter the previous year.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone stated in Toronto, “He crossed the line that umpires determined, and now we’ve got to live with the consequences of that.” “This burden does not need to be on one player. We’ll work together and share everything.

It is anticipated that Yankees right-hander Luis Severino will be recalled from the disabled list to start against the Cincinnati Reds in Germán’s place.

Due to a right lat strain, the 29-year-old Severino, a two-time All-Star, has not pitched for New York this season. In three and a half innings during a rehab start with Double-A Somerset, he gave up two runs and six hits.

Nine of the batters that Germán faced were retired. He refuted Hoye’s claim, claiming to be holding only rosin in his hands.

“It was undoubtedly the rosin bag,” Germán stated via interpreter. “It was the rosin bag and sweat.” To get the baseball, I don’t need any other assistance.

Since Major League Baseball began its crackdown on forbidden grip aids two years ago, Germán has been ejected four times; this season, it has happened twice.

During a start on April 15 against Minnesota, after Germán retired his first 16 batters, Hoye’s staff evaluated the 30-year-old right-hander and permitted him to continue in the game. Some rosin remained on the pitcher’s pinkie after Hoye urged Germán to wash it off his hand.
