MLB All-Star Game 2018: Brewers' Josh Hader won't be suspended for racist, homophobic tweets

Major League Baseball issued the following statement today regarding Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Josh Hader:

"During last night's game we became aware of Mr. Hader's unacceptable social media comments in years past and have since been in communication with the Brewers regarding our shared concerns. After the game, Mr. Hader took the necessary step of expressing remorse for his highly offensive and hurtful language, which fails to represent the values of our game and our expectations for all those who are a part of it. The Office of the Commissioner will require sensitivity training for Mr. Hader and participation in MLB's diversity and inclusion initiatives.
