New York Yankees pitcher Domingo German has been given an 81-game suspension for violating the MLB domestic violence policy.

German, who had already been placed on administrative leave for the final 18 games of the 2019 season, including nine postseason games, will sit out the first 63 games of the 2020 season.

He will not appeal the suspension.

German was put on administrative leave on Sept. 19 while MLB investigated alleged domestic violence involving his girlfriend, with whom he has at least one child.
