New York Yankees reliever Jimmy Cordero was suspended for the remainder of the 2023 season for violating Major League Baseball's domestic violence policy.
Cordero, 31, had emerged as a vital part of the Yankees' bullpen after not pitching in the majors since 2020. Over 31 appearances, he struck out 34 and walked 10 in 32u2154 innings with a 3.86 ERA and limited hitters to a .208 batting average and .317 slugging percentage, both well below league average.
New York's relief corps has allowed the team to remain relevant amid an offensive slump since Aaron Judge hit the injured list June 7 with a torn ligament in his right big toe.
