NEW YORK — Yankees right-handed reliever Jimmy Cordero has been suspended for the rest of the 2023 season for violating Major League Baseball’s joint domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse policy, Commissioner Rob Manfred announced early Wednesday afternoon.
In a statement, MLB said Cordero, who will not be paid during the suspension, had “accepted” the penalty following a league investigation and that the pitcher “will participate in a confidential and comprehensive evaluation and treatment program supervised by the Joint Policy Board.”
The Yankees backed the league’s decision.
