He we never play again: Clarke Schmidt of New York Yankees has.

Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred suspended Yankees pitcher Jimmy Cordero for the remainder of the season on Wednesday for breaking the league’s policy against domestic abuse.

The 31-year-old Dominican right-hander, according to Major League Baseball, accepted the punishment and will miss the postseason and the final 76 games of the regular season. He loses $309,677 in wages.

When asked if he would be happy to have Cordero back on the squad, Aaron Judge, the captain of New York, replied to reporters, “I think that’s a ways away.” I’m not certain. When the season is finished, I’ll have a more insightful response for you.”

In one start and thirty relief appearances, Cordero was 3-2 with a 3.86 ERA. His pay is $720,000, which is the major league minimum. He missed the 2021 season after having Tommy John surgery while with the Chicago White Sox organization and spent 2022 with the Yankees’ Triple-A affiliate at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

“I found out about the suspension last night. He came to me a couple days ago and gave me a heads-up as to an investigation going on. That’s kind of the extent of it,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday night before a game against Baltimore.

The Yankees said in a statement they supported MLB’s discipline and “there is no justification for domestic violence.”

As per the policy, MLB said Cordero will “participate in a confidential and comprehensive evaluation and treatment program supervised by the Joint Policy Board.

“We talked in person. He kind of just filled me in on what was going to happen before I heard it from anybody else,” Judge said. “I just said, `Hey, learn from this.’ I was pretty upset. I know a lot of the guys on the team were upset. But this is in the league’s hand. The league handed down the suspension. Hopefully, he learns from this and becomes a better person on the other side.”

Cordero is the 18th player disciplined by MLB since the sport’s domestic violence policy was implemented in 2016. New York pitcher Domingo Germán was given an 81-game suspension under the policy that he served in 2019 and 2020. Germán last week pitched the 24th perfect game in major league history.

“When things like this that are about as serious as it gets come up, there’s a heavy price to be paid,” Boone said. “And certainly I support that, I know the organization supports that. And hopefully now it turns to hopefully genuine healing.”
