Trevor Bauer has been out of the big leagues since June of 2021. The former Cy Young award winner is currently serving a 324 game suspension, which means he is in line to miss the 2023 campaign as well. However, Bauer is also in the process of appealing the suspension. Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times recently revealed a loose timeline for Trevor Bauer's suspension appeal decision.

“He (Trevor Bauer) has not pitched in a major league game in 17 months. He will not be eligible to pitch in a major league game for another 17 months, unless an arbitrator reduces or overturns Bauer’s suspension for violating baseball’s policy on domestic violence and sexual assault. The arbitrator’s decision is expected no earlier than next month. Neither Bauer nor the league have said what specific conduct was deemed to have violated that policy. However, Commissioner Rob Manfred levied a two-year suspension, the longest such penalty under the policy.”

Trevor Bauer has spent the past year attempting to clear his name. He even shared a shocking video of his accuser.
