Editor’s Note: An earlier version of this story included the term “sexual assault” in the headline. This has been corrected to reflect that Roberto Osuna is facing an assault charge and not a sexual assault charge. We regret the error.
Former Blue Jays pitcher Roberto Osuna’s court date Wednesday regarding an assault charge has been adjourned for another date.
The 23-year-old former Toronto Blue Jays pitcher was arrested in May and charged in connection with an alleged domestic incident.
Osuna was suspended without pay for 75 games in June for violating Major League Baseball’s domestic violence policy.
The Jays then traded him to the Houston Astros.
His lawyer, Domenic Basile, has said his client is remorseful of the circumstances of the situation but plans to plead not guilty.
