CHICAGO - Major League Baseball has extended Chicago Cubs shortstop Addison Russell's administrative leave until Sunday, a source confirmed on Thursday.
Russell, 24, was placed on paid leave last Friday after his ex-wife posted a blog detailing abuse during their short marriage, including physical abuse. Until the blog was posted on Instagram, his ex-wife had not been cooperating in baseball's investigation, which was opened last season when she left Russell. A source confirms she is cooperating now.
