Suddenly, He was given an indefinite suspension for.

Because of domestic abuse, Cordero, a pitcher for the Yankees, has been suspended for the remainder of the season by MLB.

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. His compensation decreases by $309,677.

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. After undergoing Tommy John surgery while a member of the Chicago White Sox organization in 2021, he was sidelined and played in 2022 for the Yankees’ Triple-A squad at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
“Last night, I learned about the suspension. He informed me of an ongoing probe when he spoke with me a few days earlier. Before the Yankees’ game against Baltimore on Wednesday night, manager Aaron Boone stated, “That’s kind of the extent of it.”

It’s depressing when you hear or receive such news. Your thoughts are with all those who are affected. Once more, I don’t know what happened and I don’t have any information, but that’s part of the purpose of the investigation and the established procedure.

In a statement, the Yankees stated that “there is no justification for domestic violence” and that they agreed with MLB’s disciplinary actions.

Cordero will “participate in a confidential and comprehensive evaluation and treatment program supervised by the Joint Policy Board,” according to MLB, in accordance with the rules.

“We had face-to-face conversation. Judge remarked, “He kind of just told me what was going to happen before I heard it from anybody else.” “Hey, take a lesson from this,” I said. I was feeling really angry. Many of the players on the team were obviously upset. However, the league is in charge of this. The suspension was imposed by the league. I hope that after this, he grows as a person and learns from it.

Since the adoption of the league’s domestic abuse policy in 2016, Cordero is the eighteenth player to receive disciplinary action by MLB. Pitcher Domingo Germán of New York was suspended for 81 games in 2019 and 2020 in accordance with the regulations. Last Friday, Germán pitched the major league record’s 24th perfect game.

Boone stated that over the last week or so, the Yankees learned of a potential MLB inquiry concerning Cordero.

“There’s a heavy price to be paid when things like this, which are about as serious as it gets, come up,” Boone stated. “And without a doubt, I support it, and I know the organization does too. And now, hopefully, it moves toward actual recovery.

Boone stated that following Tuesday’s game, he believes Cordero started talking to teammates about the circumstances. The manager reported that a sizable gathering of Yankees convened on Wednesday to discuss the matter.
