New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman has been suspended 30 games by commissioner Rob Manfred under Major League Baseball's new domestic violence policy for his involvement in an alleged incident last October, according to ESPN and The New York Times.
He will not appeal.
The Cuban-born lefty, acquired by the Yankees in January from the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for four minor leaguers, was under investigation for an incident at his home on Oct. 30, when he is alleged to have choked his girlfriend after an argument that began after she "found something on his phone that she did not like," according to a police report obtained by ESPN.
