MLB handed out a 324-game suspension to Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer on Friday. The ban -- which covers two full seasons -- is the longest punishment under the sport's domestic violence policy since it was instituted in 2015.
Bauer released a statement that he will appeal the suspension. That makes him the first player to appeal a punishment through the policy.
What does the suspension mean for Bauer, the Dodgers and Major League Baseball?
Bauer has been on administrative leave since July 2. Does MLB's 324-game suspension start now or include the time Bauer has already missed?
