May 18, 2023 8:23 AM

Domingo German has been suspended 10 games and fined by Major League Baseball for violating the rules regarding foreign substances.

The New York Yankees right-hander will not appeal and began serving the suspension Wednesday night.

German was ejected in the fourth inning of Tuesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays for having his hand coated with something tackier than rosin, umpire James Hoye said.

"The instant I looked at his hand, it was extremely shiny and extremely sticky," Hoye told a pool reporter Tuesday night. "It's the stickiest hand I've ever felt. My fingers had a hard time coming off his palm."

A's Broadcaster Glen Kuiper Suspended For Racial Slur

May 7, 2023 12:42 AM

Oakland Athletics broadcaster Glen Kuiper has been suspended after uttering a racial slur while describing a trip to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum.

NBC Sports California said in a statement Saturday that Kuiper will remain off the air until a review of what happened during Friday night's broadcast is completed.

In a pregame segment on NBC Sports California before the A's played the Kansas City Royals on Friday night, Kuiper talked about a trip to the museum with colleague Dallas Braden but seemingly mispronounced the word "negro," making it sound instead like a slur.
