NEW YORK -- Yankees reliever Jimmy Cordero has accepted a suspension spanning the remainder of the 2023 regular season and postseason for violating Major League Baseball’s Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Policy.

Commissioner Robert D. Manfred announced the terms of Cordero’s suspension on Wednesday, following the results of MLB’s investigation. Cordero’s placement on the restricted list is effective immediately.

Consistent with the terms of MLB's policy, Cordero will participate in a confidential and comprehensive evaluation and treatment program supervised by the Joint Policy Board. Details of Cordero’s infraction have not been made publicly available.

The Yankees issued the following statement:

"The Yankees are fully supportive of Major League Baseball’s investigative process and the disciplinary action applied to Jimmy Cordero. There is no justification for domestic violence, and we stand with the objectives, standards and enforcement of MLB’s Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Policy."

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that Cordero alerted him a couple of days ago that there was an ongoing league investigation. Boone said he learned of Cordero’s suspension on Tuesday evening.

“You get that news or you hear about that, and it’s sad,” Boone said. “Your heart goes out to everyone involved. … My biggest thing right now is just feeling for the situation, hoping and praying that something good comes out of this, that there’s maturity, growth or healing in whatever is going on.”

Boone said that he spoke to the team earlier on Wednesday concerning the suspension. The nameplate had been removed from Cordero’s assigned locker ahead of Wednesday’s game against the Orioles at Yankee Stadium, with only clothing hangers and a phone charger remaining.

Yankees captain Aaron Judge said that he spoke to Cordero earlier on Wednesday, before the suspension was announced.

“I just said, ‘Hey, learn from this,’” Judge said. “I was pretty upset. I know a lot of the guys on the team are upset. This is in the league’s hands, and the league handed down the suspension. Hopefully he learns from this and becomes a better person.”

Cordero, 31, was 3-2 with a 3.86 ERA in 31 appearances (one start) for the Yankees in 2023. In 32 2/3 innings, Cordero permitted 14 runs and 25 hits, with 10 walks and 34 strikeouts.

Cordero signed a Minor League deal with the Yankees in 2022, when he was recovering from Tommy John surgery. He has also pitched for the Nationals (2018), Blue Jays (2019) and White Sox (2019-20) in his big league career.

To replace Cordero on the active roster, right-hander Randy Vásquez was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

“The baseball part, we’ll deal with that,” Boone said. “This is real life and a much more serious situation.”
