MIAMI —
Trevor Bauer’s paid administrative leave has been extended another seven days, Major League Baseball announced Thursday.
Bauer was placed on leave for seven days last Friday after a woman accused him of sexual assault and obtained a temporary restraining order in Pasadena three days earlier. Under MLB’s domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse policy, the league needed approval from the players’ union to keep Bauer on leave longer.
Bauer, 30, hasn’t been charged or arrested. The Pasadena police department is investigating him for felony assault while MLB conducts its own investigation.
