Mets’ Carlos Mendoza, Yohan Ramirez suspended for throw at Rhys Hoskins
NY Post
The Mets paid the price for throwing behind Milwaukee’s Rhys Hoskins in Saturday’s loss at Citi Field, with both manager Carlos Mendoza and right-hander Yohan Ramirez disciplined by MLB on Sunday.
Mendoza and Ramirez were both fined and suspended, with Mendoza serving his one-game ban on Sunday and Ramirez choosing to appeal his suspension, which made him available for Sunday’s series finale, when he pitched three innings in a 4-1 loss.
“I was really surprised when I got here to the ballpark and they gave me that news right before I went out to the field,’’ Ramirez said through an interpreter of the suspension. “That’s why I decided to appeal it.”
Bench coach John Gibbons served as manager on Sunday and said he found out around noon, not long before most of the team found out.
“It was all kind of a whirlwind,’’ Brandon Nimmo said of Mendoza’s suspension.
The ruling came after Hoskins angered the Mets with a controversial — but legal — slide into second base on Friday, which caused Jeff McNeil to yell at Hoskins and for the benches to clear.

Dylan Garand knew the number off the top of his head. He knew that, between the regular season and playoffs, he’d logged over 160 games with AHL Hartford, and he was right. Before the Rangers recalled him Friday, Garand had served as the Wolf Pack’s goaltender 165 times.
