Bauer's administrative leave has been extended through April 16, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bauer missed the second half of the 2021 campaign on administrative leave while the league investigated sexual assault allegations against him, and he'll remain on administrative leave to begin the regular season in 2022. The right-hander won't face criminal charges but could still face a suspension from the league. It's not yet clear when he'll return to game action.
