PORT ST. LUCIE — Major League Baseball’s investigation of Jeurys Familia appears to be progressing toward a conclusion.
On Saturday, for the second straight day, Familia departed Tradition Field in the early morning as the Mets excused him from their pitchers and catchers workout. The closer won’t be in camp Sunday, Mets manager Terry Collins said, adding, “He will be here the following day and then for the rest of the spring.”
Familia’s absence is related to his case with MLB, two sources said, which concerns his arrest on domestic violence charges last Oct. 31 at his New Jersey home.
