Commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement.
Having reviewed all of the available evidence, I have concluded that Mr. Herrera violated the policy and should be subject to discipline in the form of an unpaid suspension that will cover the remainder of the 2019 season.
The unpaid suspension is retroactive to June 24 and will cover at least 85 regular-season games. It’s the second-largest punishment ever handed out under the policy, according to Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic.
Herrera won’t appeal the punishment and will participate in a treatment program, as per the policy.
Odubel Herrera said in a statement released through the MLB Players Association.
Today, I accepted a suspension from Major League Baseball resulting from my inappropriate behavior. I acted in an unacceptable manner and am terribly disappointed in myself. I alone am to blame for my actions.
