Starlin Castro is expected to be placed on administrative leave Friday afternoon prior to the Nationals' workout due to an alleged domestic violence incident, according to The Athletic's Brittany Ghiroli.
The move comes days after Trevor Bauer's administrative leave was extended again as police and the league continue to investigate the sexual assault allegations made against the Dodgers pitcher.
Similar to Bauer, Castro will still be paid while on leave, standard practice for MLB when investigations are ongoing. The leave will last for seven days and can be extended in week-long increments if both MLB and the MLBPA agree.
