Blue Jays closer Roberto Osuna was charged with one count of assault on a woman in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

The Toronto Police Service is withholding details to protect the identity of the alleged victim, said Constable Jenifferjit Sidhu.

Osuna, 23, has been released and is scheduled to appear in Old City Hall Court on June 18.

Constable Sidhu said police would not release the location or nature of the incident, “not because he’s a baseball player,” but because in all cases of this type, such details might lead to the identity of the woman, which is protected.

On Tuesday afternoon Major League Baseball announced that Osuna had been placed on administrative leave.

“MLB takes all allegations of this nature very seriously,” the league said in a statement. “We are investigating the circumstances and have placed Roberto Osuna on administrative leave in accordance with the joint MLB-MLBPA Domestic Violence Policy.”

As commissioner, Rob Manfred can place an accused player on paid leave for up to seven days as allegations are investigated. That seven days can be extended or shortened, according to Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins, who spoke about the situation with reporters on Tuesday afternoon at the Rogers Centre.

Atkins did not have an estimate on how long Osuna would be on leave.

“It will really depend upon the investigation is what I can tell you at this point,” Atkins said. “We’ve been taking it minute-by-minute, as we get more information and hour-by-hour. We’re working with the Toronto Police Service to help that way, any way that we can, and certainly with Major League Baseball.”

Following an investigation, the commissioner can hand out discipline as he sees fit, regardless of whether a case goes to trial or not, with no minimum or maximum penalty outlined under the policy.

The Jays issued their own statement earlier on Tuesday.

In 2015, Major League Baseball and Major League Baseball Players Association established a joint domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse policy.

Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman was the first player to face discipline under the policy. He received a 30-game suspension during the 2016 season under the policy, despite the lack of a conviction.

Also in 2016, former Blue Jays player Jose Reyes was suspended for 51 games, while he was with the Rockies, after an incident between Reyes and his wife at a hotel in Hawaii. The case in Maui was dismissed after his wife reportedly did not cooperate with investigators. Reyes allegedly grabbed his wife by the throat and pushed her into a sliding door. Hotel security called police.

New York Mets reliever Jeurys Familia was suspended for 15 games in 2017 in relation to an assault case involving his wife. In March of this year, Boston Red Sox pitcher Steven Wright received a 15-game suspension after he violated the policy. Wright was arrested in the off-season following an argument with his wife on Dec. 8, 2017. Neither player was convicted in these cases either.
