Jose Reyes has been placed on paid leave by Major League Baseball pending completion of his domestic violence case in Hawaii.

Major League Baseball said in its statement that Section III.C.2 of its domestic violence policy permits the commissioner "to impose a paid suspension pending resolution of the legal proceedings or an investigation."

When the case is complete, Rob Manfred will decide whether to impose discipline for the Colorado Rockies infielder.

Reyes will receive the $22 million salary he earns during the season while on leave.
