Trevor Bauer’s administrative leave was extended by nearly two weeks through July 27 by Major League Baseball and the players’ association while the sport’s investigators check into allegations of sexual misconduct against the Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher. Bauer was placed on seven days’ paid leave on July 2 under the joint domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse policy adopted by MLB and the players’ union in 2015. The woman obtained a protection order against Bauer last month under the Domestic Violence Prevention Act. According to the woman’s declaration attached to the request for the protection order, she suffered injuries as a result of the second encounter, including two black eyes, a bloodied swollen lip, significant bruising and scratching to one side of her face. Bauer is 8-5 with a 2.59 ERA in 17 starts this season.
