NEW YORK — Yankees reliever Jimmy Cordero has accepted a suspension for the remainder of the 2023 season for violating Major League Baseball’s Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Policy, Commissioner Rob Manfred announced Wednesday.
Cordero, 31, will participate in a confidential and comprehensive evaluation and treatment program, per MLB policy. In the meantime, the right-hander has been placed on the restrictive list following an investigation.
Cordero’s suspension equates to 76 regular-season games, and he will not be eligible to pitch in the postseason should the Yankees reach the playoffs.
