According to the source, Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association acknowledged that, based on the number of games remaining on the team’s calendar and with the league’s investigation still ongoing, Bauer would not be in conditions to return this season.
The last game of the Dodgers regular season is Oct. 3.
“Today Mr. Bauer has agreed to extend his administrative leave through the playoffs in good faith and in an effort to minimize any distractions toward the Dodgers organization and his teammates,” Bauer’s co-agents said. , Fetterolf and Rachel Luba, in a statement on Friday.
“He continues to cooperate with the MLB’s investigation and refutes baseless allegations against him. Again, by definition, administrative leave is not a disciplinary action nor does it in any way reflect a finding in the league’s investigation.”
In August, a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge denied Bauer’s plaintiff’s request to California for a permanent restraining order, a court spokesman told CNN.
Bauer, in a statement then issued by Fetterolf and his attorney, Shawn Holley, welcomed the decision and said the judge also dissolved a temporary restraining order that had been set for July 2.
Bauer, who won the Cy Young National League award last season, signed a three-year contract last season with the Dodgers and made just 17 starts this season, finishing with an 8-5 record and an ERA of 2.59.
The Dodgers made no comment when CNN contacted them.
