New York Mets closer Edwin Díaz has been handed a 10-game suspension by MLB for violating the league's foreign-substance policy, following his ejection from Sunday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Díaz was found with a sticky substance on his hand, which he claimed was a mix of rosin, sweat, and dirt, a statement dismissed by crew chief Vic Carapazza. Díaz is the third Mets pitcher to be ejected for a similar offense since 2021. Despite the suspension, Díaz maintains his innocence and is undecided on whether he will appeal. The Mets will need to find a temporary closer, likely Adam Ottavino or Reed Garrett, for the duration of Díaz's suspension. The Mets still managed to secure a 5-2 victory over the Cubs, with Drew Smith and Jake Diekman stepping in to close out the game.
