Yankees right-handed pitcher Domingo German will not pitch for the remainder of the 2019 season, including the postseason, as Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association investigate a domestic violence case, according to ESPN's Buster Olney.
German, 27, was placed on administrative leave after MLB learned of an incident on Tuesday morning. No police report was filed regarding the incident. The allegations regarding the incident were enough for the league to put him on seven-day leave until a conclusion is reached in the investigation.
The Yankees issued the following statement after the league announced the pitcher was being placed on leave:
“We fully support all measures being undertaken by the Commissioner’s Office pursuant to the Policy on Domestic Violence.
