What Domingo German’s absence would mean for Yankees’ playoff plans

After overcoming injuries to key players from spring training to the final two weeks of the season on the way to an AL East title, the Yankees’ postseason hopes took a colossal dip Thursday due to something a lot more serious than a strained oblique.

Major League Baseball announced Thursday that 18-game winner Domingo German was placed on administrative leave under the joint MLB-MLBPA Domestic Violence Policy.

The alleged incident being investigated happened Monday night, two nights before German worked 2 ¹/u2083 innings in the 3-2 loss Wednesday to the Angels at Yankee Stadium.
