The Washington Nationals will release infielder Starlin Castro after he completes an unpaid 30-game suspension as Major League Baseball found he violated the league’s domestic violence policy, the team announced Friday.
Castro has been on MLB‘s administrative leave list since July 16 as the league investigated a violation of its domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse policy. That leave was extended to July 29, and MLB announced Friday that the investigation deemed Castro violated the policy.
He was handed a 30-game unpaid suspension and will be ineligible to play in the 2021 postseason.
