Domingo German didn’t play major league baseball in 2020. He didn’t because at the end of 2019, MLB suspended him for 81 games for violating the league’s domestic violence policy. German served 18 games of his suspension closing out the 2019 campaign, and when COVID-19 ultimately cut last season down to 60 games, it became clear he would go close to two years with stepping between the lines at Yankee Stadium.
Now, in early 2021, German is a favorite to make the team but still has work to do if he wants to take the field once more.
