Bauer likely out beyond Fri.

- Sun-Times wires

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts expects pitcher Trevor Bauer to be out beyond the seven-day administra­tive leave imposed by Major League Baseball that is slated to end Friday.

“I don’t see [Bauer coming back Friday] happening,” Roberts said Monday before a game against the Marlins in Miami.

Bauer was placed on leave last Friday, three days after an allegation of assault was made by a woman against him. MLB and police are investigat­ing the incident.

The administra­tive leave — during which a player is paid but cannot play — has been extended for players under the policy in the past.

The Dodgers’ decision to wait for MLB to act, instead of taking action themselves drew a strong rebuke from a former star.

Pitcher Dave Stewart informed team officials that he will not attend the 40th anniversar­y celebratio­n of the 1981 World Series championsh­ip team on July 25. Stewart was a rookie reliever on that 1981 team.

“The organizati­on isn’t what it was when we came through,’’ Stewart told USA Today Sports. “The Dodgers organizati­on that I grew up in under the O’Malley family would never stand for that. The Dodgers should have stepped up in that situation, and they didn’t. You’ve got to have character standards.

“I told them, ‘I can’t show up for that.’ ’’

When Stewart informed the Dodgers he won’t be attending, he said he received an e-mail that read: “The team and the Players Associatio­ns support the player until he’s guilty.’’
