The league reported that Domingo German (New York Yankees) has been barred for 10 matches by the MLB for breaching the laws about foreign substances.

The pitcher will not petition his ban and will be out for the next 10 games of his franchise, as the 1st one is today. After that, German cannot be replaced, and the MLB franchise from the Big Apple will have 25 men’s roster instead of 26.
Domingo was thrown out in the 4th inning in yesterday’s match against the Toronto Blue Jays for something on his hand other than rosin.
“It was precisely a rosin bag,” the player shared after the ejection. “It was sweat and the rosin bag. I don’t need any additional aid to do my job.”
