Yankees’ German won’t pitch again this season amid probe
Right-hander Domingo German will not pitch for the New York Yankees again in 2019 after his placement on administrative leave under the MLB-MLBPA domestic violence policy, ESPN reported.
Despite the lack of a police report detailing the incident, MLB and the players’ union agreed the allegations against German warranted placing him on leave amid an investigation, sources said.
German, 27, is 18-4 with a 4.03 ERA and 153 strikeouts in 143 innings this season.
Diamondbacks: Center fielder/middle infielder Ketel Marte was shut down for the season after being diagnosed with a stress reaction in his lower back. The 25-year-old first-time All-star batted .329 with 32 home runs, 92 RBIS and 10 stolen bases in 2019.
Marlins: Manager Don Mattingly’s contract was renewed for two years with a mutual option for 2022, and shortstop Miguel Rojas signed a two-year, $10.25 million extension with a vesting option for 2022.
Nationals: Manager Dave Martinez, 54, rejoined the team four days after a heart procedure known as a cardiac catheterization that caused him to miss Washington’s threegame series at St. Louis.
