Michael Hill, Major League Baseball’s Senior Vice President of On-Field Operations, announced today that New York Mets pitcher Drew Smith has received a 10-game suspension and an undisclosed fine for violating the prohibitions on foreign substances, which resulted in his ejection prior to the top of the seventh inning of his Club’s Tuesday, June 13th game against the New York Yankees at Citi Field.
The suspension of Smith becomes effective tonight, when the Mets are to continue their home series with the Yankees.
