Dodgers slugger Yasiel Puig reportedly sustained injuries to his face in a fight with a bouncer at a Miami bar Wednesday night, and Major League Baseball plans to investigate under the league's new domestic violence policy. The bouncer reportedly had asked him to leave the Blue Martini bar after Puig got into an argument with his own sister.
Puig would be the second player, following Jose Reyes of the Rockies, to be subjected to MLB's new policies on domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse. An agreement between the players union and the owners, announced in August, gives commissioner Rob Manfred wide powers in disciplining players involved in such cases (and/or putting them in treatment).
