Domestic Dispute Demotion

The Mariners demoted Julio Mateo today after his wife required stitches:

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Julio Mateo was being questioned by police Saturday following a domestic dispute at a Manhattan hotel that left his wife needing stitches to her mouth, police said.

The incident occurred around 2:30 a.m. Saturday, police said, shortly after the Mariners defeated the New York Yankees 15-11 in a game where Mateo did not pitch. The 6-foot, 220-pound reliever was not at the midtown hotel when police arrived after the dispute, police spokesman Sgt. Mike Wysokowski said.

Mateo voluntarily turned himself in at a Manhattan police station Saturday evening and was speaking to investigators. A police spokesman said the pitcher was not immediately charged with any crime.

There's few details available, but Mateo wasn't at the game today and Mariners demoted him because they don't know his availability.
