Major League Baseball has extended the administrative leave of Toronto closer Roberto Osuna for a third seven day period through May 28 as it investigates an assault charge filed against the All Star.
Osuna remains on the restricted list and continues to receive his 5.3 million salary but is ineligible to play. Administrative leave is not considered discipline.
Commissioner Rob Manfred has the option of suspending Osuna either without pay Darwin Barney Jersey, or with pay pending the resolution of legal proceedings a penalty that later could be converted to without pay. Osuna could challenge any discipline before arbitrator Mark Irvings.
