Major League Baseball has suspended Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer for 324 games, or two seasons, for violating the league's joint domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse policy, MLB Commissioner Robert Manfred announced Friday. Bauer's suspension starts immediately, and he will not be paid.
Bauer responded on Twitter, saying, "In the strongest possible terms, I deny committing any violation of the league's domestic violence & sexual assault policy. I am appealing this action and expect to prevail."
In a statement following the announcement, the Dodgers said it takes "all allegations of this nature very seriously and does not condone or excuse any acts of domestic violence or sexual assault."
