MIAMI — Dodgers manager Dave Roberts does not expect Trevor Bauer to be pitching for the team later this week when Bauer’s seven-day administrative leave could expire.
“I don’t see that happening,” Roberts said Monday.
Bauer was placed on administrative leave by MLB on Friday while it investigates sexual assault allegations against the Dodgers pitcher. The leave will theoretically expire this week. MLB can extend it but only with the agreement of the MLB Players Association.
Bauer has been accused by a woman of choking her until she lost consciousness on multiple occasions, punching her in several areas of her body and leaving her with injuries that required hospitalization over the course of two sexual encounters earlier this year, according to a domestic violence restraining order that was filed in L.A. County Superior Court this week. The woman was granted a temporary ex parte restraining order. A formal hearing is scheduled for July 23. At that point, Bauer can respond to the allegations.
The alleged incidents took place at Bauer’s home in Pasadena on April 21 and May 16, and are being investigated by the local police department.
Bauer had the option to appeal MLB’s decision to put him on administrative leave but chose not to. His representatives have said Bauer denies the allegations “in the strongest terms.”
Without Bauer in their starting rotation, the Dodgers went with a “bullpen day” on Sunday in Washington, using eight pitchers to cover nine innings. Roberts said Monday they will make Wednesday in Miami another bullpen day with Julio Urias (Thursday) and Clayton Kershaw (Friday) each getting an extra day off before their next starts.
“We’re planning to move forward right now as we have been in recent days,” Roberts said of being down a starter through the All-Star break next week.
