Osuna Assault

Blue Jays closer Roberto Osuna was charged with assault and placed on administrative leave the Major League Baseball.

Toronto Police said Osuna will appear in court June 18, but wouldn’t provide more details.

The administrative leave, which is not considered discipline by MLB, is a seven-day period that gives the league time to investigate. But Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins said the length of the leave will be fluid.

“It depends on the investigation, it depends on the information that comes,” Atkins told media before Tuesday’s game against the Seattle Mariners at Rogers Centre.

There is no information about the charges at this point.
