Familia suspended for domestic violence

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

The suspension announced Wednesday was the fourth and least severe under the policy, which was agreed to in August 2015. New York Yankees reliever Aroldis Chapman was penalized 29 games, Colorado shortstop Jose Reyes 59 days and Atlanta outfielder Hector Olivera 82 games.

Familia was arrested Oct. 31 on a simple assault charge, but prosecutors later dropped the case. Under the domestic violence party, a player can be disciplined absent a criminal conviction.

Familia is eligible to continue to participate in spring training activities and exhibition games leading up to the Mets’ opener Monday against Atlanta, and then must sit out the team’s first 15 games.

Beltre in limbo: The Texas Rangers are unsure whether third baseman Adrian Beltre will be in their lineup or on the disabled list Monday when they open the season against Cleveland.

Beltre has been dealing with a left calf strain and has not played since Sunday. The Rangers are delaying their final roster moves until the Sunday deadline, depending on Beltre’s health. Briefly: The Indians will be without two starters to begin the season with right fielder Lonnie Chisenhall joining Jason Kipnis on the disabled list. Chisenhall hurt his right shoulder when he crashed into an outfield wall last week and will not be ready when the AL champions open in Texas. Kipnis has been sidelined with right shoulder inflammation and may not join the Indians until later in April . ... Pirates outfielder Gregory Polanco (left shoulder discomfort) will not travel with the team when it heads north Thursday for two exhibition games in Montreal . ... The Twins reassigned right-handers Nick Tepesch and Alex Wimmers to minorleague camp, finalizing their bullpen. Righthanders Justin Haley and Michael Tonkin have spots on the Opening Day roster.
