Wild Details Emerge On Domingo Germán’s Yankees’ Clubhouse Incident

Yankees pitcher Domingo Germán won’t pitch for the rest of the season as New York placed him on the restricted list after he voluntarily went to inpatient treatment for alcohol abuse.

And it was a clubhouse tirade from Germán on Tuesday that pushed the Yankees toward that decision.

Germán reportedly flipped over a couch and smashed a TV as part of the incident, according to the New York Post. But the right-hander, who threw the fourth perfect game in Yankees history in late June, didn’t stop there.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Germán, who seemed intoxicated, confronted teammates and manager Aaron Boone, and it got to the point that he had to be placed in the team’s sauna in an attempt to sweat out the alcohol, per the New York Post. The Post also reported that the Yankees placed him in the team’s nap room, where he was watched by security.

Domingo German authors perfect game, as Yankees top Athletics

Domingo German authored a perfect game against the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday night, as the New York Yankees starter allowed no hits and no walks on 99 pitches in a 11-0 victory.

In an up-and-down season that has included a suspension, and a sub-.500 record headed into Wednesday’s start, German was masterful against the last-place Athletics, mixing his pitches, keeping his defense busy and engaged, and posting nine strikeouts along the way.

Yankees starter Domingo Germán ejected over sticky stuff one night after Aaron Judge cheating accusations

New York Yankees right-hander Domingo Germán was ejected from Tuesday’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays (NYY 6, TOR 3) after being checked for foreign substances, but denied that he had run afoul of MLB’s sticky stuff rules. Germán retired the first nine batters he faced, then was stopped when he came out to start the fourth inning. All four umpires were part of the inspection.

Crew chief James Hoye told reporters, including MLB.com, Germán’s hand was the “stickiest I’ve ever felt,” and added it was “definitely not rosin.”  Here is the inspection and the ejection:

Twins’ Baldelli ejected after encounter between umpire, Yankees’ German

Baldelli was ejected in the fourth inning after umpire James Hoye allowed Domingo German back into the game after appearing to tell him to “wash your hands.”

Hoye had checked German for sticky substances after the right-hander mowed down the Twins in the third inning. As German was headed back onto the field to pitch the fourth, Hoye checked him again and he was allowed to continue pitching.

Baldelli then raced out of the visitor’s dugout and argued with Hoye, who tossed him.

I’m pretty sure I would have gotten tossed, too. “Wash your hands”? Really?
