New York Yankees pitcher Jimmy Cordero was suspended for the remainder of the 2023 season Wednesday for violating Major League Baseball’s joint domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse policy.
Cordero accepted the suspension and has been placed on the restricted list.
“The Yankees are fully supportive of Major League Baseball’s investigative process and the disciplinary action applied to Jimmy Cordero,” the team said, according to YES Network’s Jack Curry. “There is no justification for domestic violence, and we stand with the objectives, standards and enforcement of MLB’s joint domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse policy.”
