Yankees Place Domingo German On Leave Pending Domestic Violence Investigation

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Starting pitcher Domingo German‘s immediate future with the Yankees is now in question.

This after the 27-year-old right-hander was placed on administrative leave under the Joint MLB-MLBPA Domestic Violence Policy, the league announced on Thursday.

“We fully support all measures being undertaken by the Commissioners’ Office pursuant to the Policy on Domestic Violence,” the Yankees said in a statement. “We support this policy which reinforces that domestic violence has no place in our society and cannot be tolerated.

“We have followed the lead of Major League Baseball and will continue to provide our complete cooperation throughout the investigative process.
