Phillies outfielder Odubel Herrera was arrested and subsequently released on summons Monday night in Atlantic City after an alleged domestic violence incident. Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia reported that the victim had visible injuries to her arms and neck according to the police report.
MLB placed Herrera on seven-day administrative leave, and a suspension is likely under the league’s Joint Domestic Violence Policy. Addison Russel of the Cubs was recently suspended for 40 games for violating this policy, and the same could come for Herrera.
The Phillies now have a very delicate situation to handle.
