Jimmy Cordero Suspended for Violating Domestic Violence Policy
Jimmy Cordero, a relief pitcher for the Yankees, has been suspended for the rest of the season for violating Major League Baseball’s domestic violence policy, the league and the team announced on Wednesday.
Rob Manfred, the M.L.B. commissioner, said on Wednesday that after an investigation, Cordero had accepted a suspension for the rest of the 2023 regular season and the playoffs. Manfred said that Cordero had violated the league’s joint domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse policy, without providing details about what prompted the investigation and what part of the policy Cordero had violated.
Cordero, a 31-year-old journeyman right-hander who is earning a league minimum salary, was placed on the restricted list on Wednesday.
The Yankees said in a statement on Wednesday that the team was “fully supportive of Major League Baseball’s investigative process and the disciplinary action applied to Jimmy Cordero.”
