Warning: The following article contains graphic allegations of domestic violence and sexual assault.
Major League Baseball has suspended Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer for 324 games — two full seasons — under its domestic violence and sexual assault policy.
Commissioner Rob Manfred announced the suspension Friday, nearly 10 months after a California woman said two sexual encounters in April and May 2021 turned violent without her consent. The Athletic's Britt Ghiroli reports that the suspension begins Friday and does not include games served under his administrative leave.
Bauer tweeted that he intends to appeal.
