Major League Baseball has suspended Michael Pineda for 10 games.

Pineda was ejected in the second inning of Wednesday's game between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox when it was discovered that he had pine tar on his neck.

The right-hander has a 1.83 ERA, 1.017 WHIP and 15 strikeouts in 19.2 innings this season.

Unless appealed, Pineda's suspension is scheduled to begin Thursday night, when the two clubs continue their series in Boston.

Four players have been suspended for their roles in Sunday afternoon's brawl between the Milwaukee Brewers and Pittsburgh Pirates.

Carlos Gomez, who helped start the incident by exchanging heated words with Gerrit Cole, was suspended three games.

Martin Maldonado, who punched Pittsburgh's Travis Snider, received a five-game suspension.

Snider was suspended two games, and Russell Martin was suspended one game.
