    Rockies shortstop Jose Reyes is currently on paid leave as Major League Baseball reviews the information surrounding his offseason domestic violence arrest. The charges have been dropped, as Reyes' wife would not cooperate with police. And now there's a chance Reyes can still face a suspension under the MLB domestic violence policy, and it sounds like it'll be a big one.

    According to Jon Heyman of MLB Network, Reyes' suspension will be at least 60 games and that 80 games "may be a fair ballpark estimate," per his sources. It sounds possible that the suspension could even be longer than that.

    Reports surfaced that Reyes' wife, Katherine, had visible injuries to several areas of her body, including her neck.

    Heyman reports the suspension ruling will come down "soon."

    Reyes, 32, is making $22 million this season, but he would forfeit his salary for games he's suspended, so a half season suspension would cost him $11 million. He's also owed $22 million next season.

    Rockies SS Jose Reyes suspended through May 31

    Major League Baseball has suspended Colorado Rockies shortstop Jose Reyes without pay through May 31 for violating its domestic violence policy, the league announced Friday.

    Reyes will not appeal. The suspension is retroactive to Feb. 23, when Reyes was first put on paid leave by the league. Through Thursday, he had missed 34 games.

    "Mr. Reyes cooperated fully with my office's investigation," commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement. "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."

    As part of the discipline, Reyes has agreed to donate $100,000 toward the prevention and treatment of domestic violence.
