Despite the absence of evidence, SNY claims that German was “under the influence” and “lost control of his emotions.”

On Wednesday, the team announced that German had voluntarily checked himself into a treatment facility to address his аlcohol consumption.

German, who turns 31 on Friday, was originally removed from a start due to armpit discomfort on Monday, but he entered the game in relief and allowed just two hits over five innings, allowing no runs in a 5-1 defeat to the Tampa Bay Rays.

GM Brian Cashman of the New York Yankees has informed the media that German would not pitch for the rest of the season.

“Certainly it’s a very serious issue that affects way too many people unfortunately, and hopefully the steps that are being taken today will really benefit him for the remainder of his life because it’s a very serious problem that you need to address head on and these treatment places are significant steps hopefully to helping him get the tools to solve it,” Cashman said.

‘Right now, I’m really worried for the person and the immediate family,’ he continued. “Domingo German has certainly been a part of the Yankee family, and he is dealing with a very serious issue; I certainly think we will all keep him in our prayers as he takes very important but necessary steps in trying to deal with this problem,” said one Yankee.

The 30-year-old is suspected of having a history of drunkenly abusing his now-wife, Mara Vega. According to The Athletic, an MLB inquiry was launched after events in 2019 in which the pitcher was accused of slapping Vega.

When they got back to their apartment, the drunk German allegedly grew violent with Vega and she locked herself in a room for safety.

Reportedly a deal was reached between the league, MLBPA, and German, who did not appeal the suspension despite it being one of the longest issued under the rules since it went into effect in 2015.
