Major League Baseball has levied a 100-game penalty, a season-ending suspension, upon San Diego Padres’ left-handed reliever Jose Torres for violating the league’s Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assualt, and Child Abuse Policy, retroactive to June 5.
In December, Torres, 24, was arrested for allegedly knocking a door off its hinges and pointing a weapon at a woman in his Phoenix home. He also allegedly kicked a laundry door, striking his wife in her leg and causing an injury.
As per Kevin Acee of San Diego Union-Tribune, Torres was formally charged with assault with a deadly weapon, criminal damage, and making threats or intimidation.
