Trevor Bauer has not pitched in the majors since June 2021 as the former Cy Young Award winner is currently serving a 324 game suspension which would keep him out of the 2023 season as well.
However, Bauer is in the process of appealing the suspension and has received a loose timeline for a suspension appeal decision, according to the Los Angeles Times’ Bill Shaikin.
“He (Trevor Bauer) has not pitched in a major league game in 17 months. He will not be eligible to pitch in a major league game for another 17 months, unless an arbitrator reduces or overturns Bauer’s suspension for violating baseball’s policy on domestic violence and sexual assault. The arbitrator’s decision is expected no earlier than next month. Neither Bauer nor the league have said what specific conduct was deemed to have violated that policy. However, Commissioner Rob Manfred levied a two-year suspension, the longest such penalty under the policy.”
