Major League Baseball announced Friday that Rockies shortstop Jose Reyes has accepted a suspension without pay through May 31 for violation of its domestic violence policy.

Reyes has missed 34 games and there are 17 more games scheduled this month.

MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred issued the following statement: “My office has completed its investigation into the allegation that Jose Reyes committed an act of domestic violence on October 31, 2015. The investigation was prolonged and complicated initially by the existence of a pending criminal proceeding against Mr. Reyes in Hawaii involving the same allegation, which has since been dismissed. Mr. Reyes cooperated fully with my office’s investigation.

“Having reviewed all of the available evidence, I have concluded that Mr. Reyes violated the Policy and should be subject to discipline in the form of an unpaid suspension that will expire on May 31st. I am encouraged by Mr. Reyes’ commitment to the treatment provisions of the Policy in order to ensure that such an incident does not occur in the future. Mr. Reyes also agreed to contribute a total of $100,000 to one or more charitable organizations focused on preventing and treating survivors of domestic violence.”

Shortly after the suspension was announced, Reyes issued a statement.

“I want to apologize for everything that has happened. I am sorry to the Rockies organization, my teammates, all the fans and most of all my family. I am happy to put this all in the past and get back to doing what I love the most, playing baseball. My wife Katherine has remained by my side throughout everything and for that I will be forever grateful.”

The suspension resolved baseball’s first major case involving its new domestic violence policy, more than six months after Reyes was arrested in Maui and alleged by Hawaii police to have assaulted his wife in their Four Seasons hotel room.

Reyes’ wife told Maui police that he pulled her off a hotel bed and grabbed her throat, then shoved her into a sliding glass balcony door, according to a local news report.

Reyes, 32, pleaded not guilty at his arraignment in November and has not talked publicly about his arrest. He was scheduled for trial in Hawaii on April 4, the same day the Rockies opened their season in Arizona. But his case was dropped after prosecutors said they could not get Reyes’ wife to testify.

In March, Major League Baseball suspended Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman for 30 games because of domestic violence allegations against him stemming from a December incident. But Chapman was never formally charged.

Chapman’s punishment was MLB’s first under a new policy negotiated with the players’ union last August.

Colorado entered the season with the highest payroll in franchise history, about $113 million, with Reyes scheduled to make $22 million. Reyes has been on paid administrative leave since spring training, earning more than $4.8 million so far this season. By the time his suspension ends, the Rockies could save about $7.1 million of his $22 million salary this year.

In Reyes’ absence, Trevor Story was named the Rockies starting shortstop. He hit a major league rookie-record 10 home runs in April.

The Rockies were not involved in MLB’s punishment process, owner Dick Monfort and general manager Jeff Bridich have said.

“I’d like to know exactly what happened,” Monfort said last month. “It’s easy for us all to speculate on whatever happened. But until we really know, it’s hard. You’re dealing with a guy’s life.

“But if he did something wrong, he should pay for it.”
