UPDATE: The Rockies released a statement on Reyes’ arrest:
11:00 p.m. ET: Per Deadspin, a television report from KHNL in Hawaii says that Reyes and his wife were arguing when he allegedly grabbed her by the throat and shoved her into the sliding glass door in their hotel room.
Reyes’ wife told police she had injuries to her thigh, neck, and wrist. She was taken to the ER at the Maui Memorial Medical Center.
10:30 p.m. ET: According to Chelsea Davis of Hawaii News Now, Rockies shortstop Jose Reyes was recently arrested on the island of Maui for allegedly assaulting his wife, Katherine Ramirez Reyes.
There aren’t many details available at this time, but the alleged incident took place on Halloween in a hotel room in Wailea. Reyes is currently out on bail.
MLB recently announced a new policy regarding domestic violence which allows commissioner Rob Manfred to issue the discipline “he believes is appropriate in light of the severity of the conduct.” The discipline is not contingent on the player in question being found guilty or pleading guilty. This is the first reported incident since the new policy was announced.
The Rockies acquired Reyes in July as part of the Troy Tulowitzki trade with the Blue Jays. The 32-year-old is owed $44 million over the next two seasons, with a $4 million buyout on a $22 million club option for 2018.
