Roberto Osuna

Blue Jays' Roberto Osuna placed on administrative leave

Major League Baseball has placed Toronto Blue Jays closer Roberto Osuna on administrative leave.

What It Means:

This decision comes following Tuesday morning's arrest for assaulting a woman in Toronto. In a statement, the league said, "We are investigating the circumstances and have placed Roberto Osuna on Administrative Leave in accordance with the Joint MLB-MLBPA Domestic Violence Policy." Osuna is scheduled to be in court on June 18th, but he won't be back for a while and could certainly face suspension. Tyler Clippard could get the first opportunity to take over the closer's role.

To this point, Osuna has tallied 9 saves with 13 strikeouts and a 2.93 ERA in 15 1/3 innings.
