Blue Jays’ Roberto Osuna suspended for 75 games, eligible to return Aug 4th

The Blue Jays finally got some news on the future of their 23 year old closer, despite the fact that his court case remains unresolved.

Commissioner Robert Manfred and his office made the announcement earlier today that Osuna would receive a 75 game suspension that would be retroactive to May 8th, when he was first placed on the administrative leave list. Osuna had remained inactive while on that list until today’s announcement.

Now that his suspension is in place, Osuna will no longer be paid, as he was while on administrative leave. The commissioner’s office suspended him under their Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, and Child Abuse Policy, in much the same way they’ve suspended other players who hadn’t been legally convicted.
