Los Angeles Angels pitching coach Mickey Callaway has been placed on the ineligible list through the end of the 2022 season following Major League Baseball's investigation into his alleged sexual misconduct, details of which were originally shared by The Athletic.
In a statement that was issued Wednesday, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred wrote that the investigation "concluded that Mr. Callaway violated MLB's policies and that placement on the ineligible list is warranted." The Angels issued a follow-up statement announcing they are firing Callaway, adding: "We appreciate Major League Baseball's diligent investigation and support their decision."
Placement on the ineligible list is immediate, the league announced, and Callaway will be eligible to apply for potential reinstatement at the conclusion of the 2022 season.
