Receives 10-game suspension Blanco has been suspended 10 games by Major League Baseball for violating the prohibitions on foreign substances, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Impact Blanco was ejected from Tuesday's against the Athletics prior to the fourth inning after umpires examined his glove for a foreign substance, which is an automatic 10-game suspension. The pitcher indicated after the contest that he planned to appeal the suspension, but he has not yet formally done that. If Blanco does indeed appeal, he would be allowed to pitch until the appeal is heard.
