PHOENIX — Trevor Bauer will not begin the season with the Dodgers.
Major League Baseball and the players union agreed Thursday to extend Bauer's administrative leave through April 16. Bauer had been placed on paid administrative leave March 11 through Sunday after finishing the 2021 season on leave.
The Dodgers open the season April 8 against the Colorado Rockies. Bauer will miss at least the first eight games of the team's season. The league and union can agree to extend the leave again before then.
