WASHINGTON (AP) â Trevor Bauer was placed on administrative leave by Major League Baseball on Friday, three days after an allegation of assault was made by a woman against the Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher.
âWhile no determination in the case has been made, we have made the decision to place Mr. Bauer on seven-day administrative leave effective immediately. MLB continues to collect information in our ongoing investigation concurrent with the Pasadena Police Departmentâs active criminal investigation, the commissioner s office said in a statement.
The leave was imposed under the joint domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse policy adopted by MLB and the players union in 2015 and can be the initial step leading to a longer suspension. The administrative leave â during which a player is paid but cannot play â has been extended for players under the policy in the past.
