Michael Pineda was ejected from Wednesday night's game with the Boston Red Sox in the second inning for having a foreign substance on his neck that he was applying to the baseball.

Pineada was suspected of having pine tar on the palm of his pitching hand in an April 10 game.

After a mound conference in which Gerry Davis checked Pineda's hand, the ball, and finally, the right side of his neck, Pineda was ejected from the game. 

MLB spokesman Pat Courtney says the league will review the incident

Suspicions about Pineda's use of a substance, believed to be pine tar, were first raised by NESN broadcasters during the April 10 game.
