6 years agoToronto Blue Jays closer Roberto Osuna’s administrative leave has been extended by Major League Baseball through June 11. This is just a formality at this point. Osuna’s leave is going to continually be extended unless and/or until MLB hands down a formal suspension for his assault charge. Osuna’s first court date is on June 18, though there’s no telling at this point when the legal process will be completely resolved here. Osuna is going to be out a while, and owners should plan on missing him for the rest of the year as a precaution, even if that doesn’t end up being the case. Ryan Tepera is currently the ongoing favorite as Osuna’s replacement, but his performance has been shaky of late.--John Smith
