Smith was handed a 10-game suspension Tuesday for having a foreign substance on his glove during last Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports. He has appealed and will remain active until the league comes to a final decision.
EDGE Analysis
Smith became just the second pitcher to be ejected for using a foreign substance since the league implemented the new protocols in June. He pitched Sunday, allowing two runs across two innings, and he'll now remain on the active roster until the league makes a ruling on his appeal. If the suspension is upheld, Arizona will be forced to play a man short during his 10-game absence.
