The league determined that Bauer violated their Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, and Child Abuse Policy, which has been in effect since August 2015.
He will be the first player to appeal his suspension since the policy was established over six years ago, according to a tweet he made following the announcement.
On the whole, MLB has handed down longer suspensions to players who violate the Joint Drug Agreement.
Chapman, the first player suspended under the new policy, returned early in the season and won a World Series ring with the Chicago Cubs that year.
But, it’s worth noting that almost everyone on the list with him continued their careers when their suspensions ended.
