New York Yankees right-hander Domingo German has voluntarily entered inpatient treatment for alcohol abuse, the team said Wednesday.
German was placed on the restricted list while he undergoes treatment, according to the Yankees.
"It is critical that Domingo completely focuses on addressing his health and well-being," the team said. "We will respect his privacy as he begins this process."
German, 30, authored the 24th perfect game in major league history June 28 at Oakland, but the outing was one of his few bright spots this season. Overall, he's 5-7 with a 4.
