Mets pitcher Max Scherzer was suspended for 10 games by Major League Baseball on Thursday following his ejection for having a foreign substance on his hand during a game.

Scherzer appealed the penalty imposed by Michael Hill, MLB's senior vice president for on-field operations, and can continue to play until the appeal is decided. The appeal would be heard by MLB special adviser John McHale Jr.

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon will serve a four-game suspension for a public altercation with a fan in Oakland last week, videos of which circulated on social media, sources told ESPN on Monday.

Major League Baseball initially handed Rendon a five-game suspension on Monday, which Rendon threatened to appeal. A subsequent negotiated settlement between MLB and the MLB Players' Association reduced Rendon's suspension to four games that must be served immediately, sources said, beginning with the Angels' road game against the division-rival Seattle Mariners later Monday afternoon.
