NY Mets reliever Jeurys Familia accepts 15-game suspension for domestic violence.

New York Mets All-Star reliever Jeurys Familia accepted a 15-game suspension under Major League Baseball’s domestic violence policy, discipline stemming from an altercation last October.

The suspension, announced Wednesday, is the fourth and least severe under the policy, which was agreed to in August 2015: New York Yankees reliever Aroldis Chapman (29 games), Colorado shortstop Jose Reyes (51 games) and Atlanta outfielder Hector Olivera (82 games) were penalized previously.

The suspension is a result of Familia’s Oct. 31 arrest on a simple assault charge. Prosecutors later dropped the charges.

Familia’s suspension will begin on opening day. He is eligible to participate in all spring training and exhibition games and activities leading up to opening day.

Barring any postponements, Familia would be eligible to return April 20 at home against Philadelphia and would lose $730,328 of his $7,425,000 salary. Under a change this year to baseball’s joint drug agreement, he loses the salary of off-days during the suspension, in addition to his pay on the days of games he misses.

“The evidence reviewed by my office does not support a determination that Mr. Familia physically assaulted his wife, or threatened her or others with physical force or harm,” baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement. “Nevertheless, I have concluded that Mr. Familia’s overall conduct that night was inappropriate, violated the policy and warrants discipline.”

Familia was charged after his wife, Bianca Rivas, made several frantic 911 calls to police in Fort Lee, N.J., in which she described her husband as drunk.

“My husband had a little bit of alcohol and he’s going crazy,” Rivas said in the 911 recording, according to excerpts of a transcript published by NJ.com.

Rivas was left with scratches on her chest and a bruise on her right cheek.

A judge dismissed charges in December after the player’s wife told a prosecutor that her husband did not hurt her.
