Report: Several Suspicious Baseballs From Trevor Bauer Sent to MLB for Inspection

Multiple suspicious baseballs from Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer's start Wednesday against the Athletics have been sent to league officials to be inspection for foreign substances, according to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal.

The balls were flagged because they had visible markings and were sticky. This comes after umpires reportedly removed one of the Bauer balls following the first inning of Wednesday's sport.

Bauer has a history of openly challenging MLB and commissioner Rob Manfred, like after the league sent a memo in late March to enforce the ban of foreign substances on baseballs. The righthander posted a video to his YouTube channel a day later weighing in on the issue, voicing his discontent.
