The league has suspended New York Yankees pitcher Jimmy Cordero for the rest of the 2023 season, including any postseason games, for violations of the league's domestic violence, sexual abuse and child abuse policy.
The league said Cordero accepted the suspension and immediately placed him on the league's restricted list. No specific details have been disclosed.
The New York Yankees said they accepted the punishment levied at Cordero.
We stand with the objectives, standards and enforcement of MLB's Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Policy, the team statement said.
The right-handed reliever has appeared in 31 games for the Yankees this season. The 31-year-old has pitched 32.2 innings with an ERA of 3.86 and 34 strikeouts.
The Baseball Players Association (MLPA) has asked CBS Sports for comment from the union and Cordero.
Cordero will be supervised by the MLB and MLBPA approved Joint Policy Board, which oversees the league's anonymous and comprehensive evaluation and treatment program.
