Brian Matusz, who was ejected Saturday for using a sticky substance that was on his right arm, was suspended eight games by Major League Baseball on Monday.

The Baltimore Orioles left-hander appealed the decision and was available to pitch in Monday's game against the Houston Astros in Baltimore.

Matusz was the second pitcher in less than a week to be suspended for having a foreign substance on his arm.

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Will Smith also appealed, which has yet to be heard, after getting an eight-game ban Thursday.
