LOS ANGELES -- The civil hearing for a restraining order requested against Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer has been postponed to Aug. 2 after Bauer's legal team requested more time to prepare a defense against witnesses and documents that it claimed to receive only recently.
Judge Dianna Gould-Saltman set aside Aug. 2, 3 and 19 for the hearing, which is expected to take between two and three days. The temporary restraining order against Bauer will remain in place until the hearing is complete. Bauer's administrative leave expires on Tuesday, but Major League Baseball can extend it once again with consent by the MLB Players' Association.
