Astros' Ronel Blanco Suspended 10 Games by MLB After Foreign Substance Ejection

After being ejected from Tuesday's start in the fourth inning for having a foreign substance on his glove, Houston Astros pitcher Ronel Blanco has been suspended for 10 games by MLB.

The league announced Blanco's discipline on Wednesday. Chandler Rome of The Athletic noted that Blanco said after the Astros' 2-1 win over the Oakland Athletics yesterday he planned to appeal any suspension.

Before throwing a pitch in the top of the fourth inning, Blanco was ejected after the umpires found a foreign substance on his glove during a routine inspection.
