Washington Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo does not expect infielder Starlin Castro to return to the team this season after he was placed on administrative leave Friday following an accusation of domestic violence.
MLB is investigating the domestic violence accusation.
According to joint MLB and MLB players association policy, Castro can remain on the administrative leave list for as long as seven days; but his stay on the list can be extended if MLB and MLBPA both agree. Placement on the administrative list allows MLB to investigate the incident fully.
