Red Sox pitcher Steven Wright has accepted a 15-game suspension for violating MLB's domestic violence policy, the league announced Friday.
In December, Wright was arrested for domestic assault in Tennessee after an argument with his wife Shannon, according to a statement released by the Wright family at the time of the incident. However, his case was retired later that month and it was determined the case will be dropped if he could go 12 months without any additional charges.
MLB commissioner Rob Manfred released a statement on his office's decision to suspend Wright.
