Mets closer Jeurys Familia was suspended Wednesday for the first 15 games of the 2017 season, The Post’s Joel Sherman confirmed.
The reigning MLB saves leader will be eligible to return to the team on April 20, barring any postponed games on the Mets schedule. He forfeits 18 days of pay, worth more than $700,000.
Familia met with Commissioner Rob Manfred on Monday in New York to discuss the closer’s domestic violence incident, which was dismissed in court.
