Go Woo-seok (28, Triple-A Saint Paul Saints, a Minnesota Twins affiliate), who was aiming to return to the major leagues, has ultimately received a severe 10-game suspension following the 'foreign substance controversy' that occurred during his first minor league appearance after being traded.

According to local reporters Theodore Torpenson of 'John Coverage Minnesota' and Brandon Warren, who covers the Minnesota club exclusively, the minor league office issued Go Woo-seok a 10-game suspension on charges of using foreign substances. This disciplinary action was applied retroactively starting from the previous day's game (the 25th). As a result, Go Woo-seok will not be able to return to the mound until August 5.

The incident occurred on the 25th at CHS Field in Saint Paul, Minnesota, during a game against the Columbus Clippers (a Cleveland Guardians affiliate). After recently moving from the Detroit Tigers to the Minnesota Twins and playing four major league games (one hold, ERA 9.00) before being sent down to the minors, Go Woo-seok took the mound as the third pitcher in the bottom of the seventh inning, following Marco Raya, with his team trailing 2-3.

However, Go Woo-seok faced an unprecedented situation where he was ejected without throwing a single pitch. According to Aiden O'Brien, a reporter for Minnesota specialty outlet 'Twinkie Town', umpires discovered an unidentified foreign substance while inspecting his glove before he even began pitching. After a lengthy discussion involving the umpires and coaching staff on the mound, an ejection order was issued, and the umpires collected Go Woo-seok's glove for a detailed inspection.

Ultimately, he could not escape punishment. Amidst the sudden ejection setback, Go Woo-seok, who had been replaced, received a heavy 10-game suspension from the minor league office just one day after the incident occurred. It remains unclear whether Go Woo-seok will appeal this disciplinary action.

Go Woo-seok, who had only recently achieved his dream of pitching in the major leagues, has now faced a 'foreign substance tragedy' even in his first return game to the minors. It is highly anticipated whether he can overcome this crisis after returning on August 5 and lay the groundwork for another attempt at rejoining the major leagues.
