Max Scherzer (New York Mets), who was ejected for allegedly using illegal substances, was suspended for 10 games.

Scherzer started on the 20th (Korean time) in the 2023 major league match against the Los Angeles Dodgers held at Dodger Stadium스포츠토토 in Los Angeles, California, USA.

Scherzer had 1 hit, 2 walks and 3 strikeouts without giving up until the 3rd inning. Scherzer passed without a problem in the first glove test in the second inning. However, before the end of the third inning, the referee ordered Scherzer to change his glove, and after changing his glove, he went to the mound. Subsequently, he was suspected of having a foreign substance on his glove before going to the mound in the bottom of the 4th inning.

Scherzer strongly protested. He was even caught on the broadcast screen saying “It’s Rosin” to the referee. But in the end, Scherzer was ejected and came down from the mound.

After the match, Scherzer expressed regret. According to the US’MLB.com’, Scherzer said, “I swear on my children. I never used anything else.” said.

However, Scherzer could not avoid the punishment. ‘MLB.com’ said, “Mets ace Scherzer was suspended for 10 games and fined an undisclosed amount after being ejected from the Dodgers game.”

“Major League reviewed the video along with reports from umpires led by chief umpire Dan Bellino,” Major League Baseball said in a statement. It turned out to be a violation.”

But Scherzer won’t appeal. According to ‘MLB.com’, Scherzer said, “The best option for the Mets is to accept discipline.”

‘MLB.com’ said, “The Mets are currently missing Justin Verlander, Jose Quintana, and Carlos Carrasco due to injuries. Scherzer’s absence will be a significant blow to the Mets’ starting rotation.”
