Trevor Bauer remains the subject of separate investigations by Major League Baseball and the Pasadena Police Department over alleged sexual assault incidents, and each week that passes makes it less likely he will return to the Los Angeles Dodgers this season.
Bauer last pitched on June 28, which was the night before a San Diego woman obtained an ex parte restraining order against him over allegations of sexual misconduct. Pasadena Police launched their criminal investigation July 1, and MLB placed Bauer on leave the following day.
MLB commissioner was able to do so unilaterally, but extending it and keeping him on the restricted list has required approval from the Players Association.
