With the Los Angeles Dodgers entering into the final month of the regular season with a crucial series against the San Francisco Giants, they remain without Trevor Bauer and when that might change remains unclear.
Bauer last pitched on June 28, which was the night before a San Diego woman obtained an ex parte restraining order due to allegations of sexual assault. Pasadena Police launched their criminal investigation July 1, and MLB placed Bauer on leave the following day.
MLB commissioner Rob Manfred was able to do so unilaterally, but extending it and keeping Bauer on the restricted list has required approval from the Players Association.
