    Baltimore Orioles reliever Brian Matusz, who was ejected Saturday for using a sticky substance that was on his right arm, was suspended eight games by Major League Baseball on Monday.

    Matusz, who declined to address the issue after Saturday's 1-0 loss to the Marlins, has appealed the decision and is available to pitch in Monday's game against the Houston Astros in Baltimore.

    Matusz was the second pitcher in less than a week to be suspended for having a foreign substance on his arm by Joe Garagiola Jr., the MLB senior vice president of standards and on-field operations. Brewers pitcher Will Smith also appealed after getting an eight-game ban Thursday.
