New York Yankees reliever Zack Britton said the action of his teammate, Dominican Domingo Germán, who was suspended by the Major League Baseball commissioner’s office for a total of 81 games following an incident of domestic violence against his wife, takes place in the stadium or outside it “
“He doesn’t owe me anything, it’s my job to go out and pitch… sometimes you can’t control who your teammates are. I don’t agree with what he did, and I don’t think that’s a place in the game, on or off the field, ”explained Britton when asked about Germán’s return to the Yankees.
Germán was 18-4 with a 4.03 ERA in 2019 when he was given leave on September 19 when Major League Baseball investigated the alleged domestic violence incident involving his girlfriend, with whom he has at least one child. The pitcher lost the last nine games of the regular season and the nine postseason games to New York.
The Dominican was suspended for 81 games on January 2, 2020, a penalty kick with 63 games remaining. In 2020, he did not participate in the pandemic shortened season or the Playoffs.
