MLB suspends New York Yankees SP Domingo German 81 games

According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, New York Yankees starting pitcher Domingo German has been suspended 81 games.

The league will count all of German’s missed games from 2019 as part of the suspension and as a result, he will miss 63 games in 2020. German was put on administrative leave on Sept. 19 by the MLB as they investigated the domestic violence accusation.

The Yankees released a statement on the league’s ruling:

“We remain steadfast in our support of Major League Baseball’s investigative process and the disciplinary action taken regarding Domingo German, domestic violence—in any form—is a gravely serious matter that affects every segment of our society.
