Newest Astros reliever Roberto Osuna had his next court date for his domestic assault case pushed back to Sept. 5. Osuna didn't appear in court Wednesday in Toronto, but his attorney Domenic Basile spoke briefly and said he's had productive meetings with the courts.

On Tuesday, Basile said he had planned to ask for a postponement so he could make a case for his client to be given a peace bond, which would drop the charges against Osuna. After Wednesday's court appearance, Basile said he was working towards a peace bond agreement that would mean Osuna would avoid a trial.

A peace bond is a promise to the court that the accused will keep the peace and stay on good behavior in exchange for having the charges dropped.

Osuna, who the Astros traded for on Monday, is serving a 75-game suspension after being arrested and charged with assault on May 8 when he was a member of the Toronto Blue Jays. His suspension ends this week, and he's eligible to play again Sunday.

Basile said Osuna currently is in Mexico, but plans on pitching in a minor league rehab stint later this week. The Astros haven't made an announcement on Osuna's plans.

When the Astros traded for Osuna, general manager Jeff Luhnow released a statement in which he said, in part, the team is "confident that Osuna is remorseful."

Basile expanded on the Astros' use of the word remorseful.

"My client is not remorseful of being guilty of any criminal activity," Basile said Wednesday. "He's obviously remorseful of the circumstances."
