Jimmy Cordero Wife- Domestic Violence Case And Suspension
On Wednesday, it was announced that Jimmy Cordero, a relief pitcher for the New York Yankees, has been suspended for the remainder of the 2023 season for violating Major League Baseball’s domestic violence policy.
The league and the team confirmed the suspension, with MLB commissioner Rob Manfred stating that Cordero had accepted the suspension after an investigation.
The specific details regarding the investigation and the violation of the policy were not disclosed.
As a result of the suspension, Cordero, a 31-year-old right-hander, has been placed on the restricted list.
The Yankees expressed their full support for the league’s investigative process and the disciplinary action taken against Cordero, emphasizing that there is no justification for domestic violence.
Under the league’s domestic violence policy, Cordero will undergo a confidential evaluation and participate in a treatment program.
The specifics of the investigation will remain private, as the policy aims to keep such details out of the public eye.
Yankees Manager Aaron Boone addressed Cordero’s suspension, expressing his sadness and noting that he did not have information about the investigation.
He confirmed that the investigation did not affect Cordero’s playing time.
Cordero, who made his major league debut in 2018 with the Washington Nationals, joined the Yankees in March 2022 on a minor league contract.
He had been a reliable presence in the Yankees bullpen this season, with a 3.86 earned run average (ERA) and 34 strikeouts in under 32 ⅔ innings pitched.
Following Cordero’s suspension, the Yankees called up Randy Vásquez, a right-handed pitcher, from their minor league affiliate, the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders.
It is worth noting that another Yankees pitcher, Domingo Germán, was suspended for 81 games in 2020 following a domestic abuse investigation.
