After he was ejected from a game Wednesday against the Boston Red Sox for using pine tar, Major League Baseball has suspended him for 10 games.
While the New York Yankees will temporarily suffer from the absence of one of their starters, it is Pineda who will be affected most by this lapse in judgment—and for much longer ...
