NEW YORK — Suspended New York Mets closer Francisco Rodriguez has been released without bail and told to stay away from his father-in-law while facing charges he assaulted the man.
Rodriguez appeared at a Queens courthouse on Thursday afternoon. Earlier in the day, he was suspended by the team for two days.
Rodriguez was charged with third-degree assault after a scuffle at Citi Field following Wednesday night’s game.
The star pitcher did not enter a plea.
