A New York Yankees pitcher was ejected from his team’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays after officials deemed him to have an “extremely sticky” substance on his right hand.
At the bottom of the fourth inning of the Yankees’ eventual 6-3 victory, Germán was approached by first-base umpire DJ Reyburn to inspect his hand. “His hand was clearly shiny on the palm and his fingertips, and it was extremely sticky,” crew chief James Hoye told reporters after the game. “So [Reyburn] called me over and said: ‘Hey, take a look at this.’ And the instant I looked at his hand, it was extremely shiny and extremely sticky.
Understanding how much the bullpen has been used, and what my plan was for tonight to pitch, and putting them in a tough situation where I’m not pitching out there anymore.” It’s the second time this season Germán has run into issues with this ruling, after being told by Hoye in a game against the Minnesota Twins on April 15 to wash off any excess rosin after he was deemed to have too much on his pitching hand. “I don’t want this to happen again,” Germán said.
