In an unexpected turn of events, New York Yankees‘ veteran starting pitcher Domingo German was placed on the restricted list as he voluntarily entered an alcohol rehabilitation program this week.
Following a controversial incident earlier in the week, the Yankees acted swiftly, though precise details about what transpired in the clubhouse are now only beginning to emerge.

As reported by Lindsey Adler of the Wall Street Journal, German was seen flipping a couch, smashing a TV, and engaging in heated exchanges with fellow Yankees’ players and staff, including Manager Aaron Boone.
