Major League Baseball has placed Trevor Bauer of the Los Angeles Dodgers on administrative leave, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.
This is not a surprise as this is where Bauer finished last season and MLB is still conducting their investigation into the sexual assault allegations against him. Bauer will not face criminal charges as the prosecutor, in this case, declined to file charges, but that does not mean that commissioner Rob Manfred will do the same. The current leave will last until March 19 but can be extended. Bauer will not report to spring training for the Dodgers during this time.
