Denver — Jose Reyes now knows when he can return. His role — and perhaps his future — with the Colorado Rockies remain as murky as ever, especially given the emergence of rookie shortstop Trevor Story.

Reyes was suspended through May 31 on Friday, the second player penalized under Major League Baseball’s new domestic violence policy. Reyes agreed to the punishment and won’t appeal, the commissioner’s office said. The penalty stemmed from an alleged altercation with his wife at a Hawaii resort last October.

In Reyes’ absence, Story has taken his job and become one of baseball’s big surprises this season. Story ranks among the big league leaders with 11 homers and 27 RBIs and is batting .266.

“I don’t worry myself too much in the future or what’s going to happen when Jose comes back,” Story said. “Take it day by day and things will work out.”

The Rockies are still formulating a plan with Reyes — whether he will head to Arizona for extended spring training or maybe on a minor league rehab assignment.

“We are in phase 2 of this, which is, ‘OK, what next?’ and, ‘What now? ‘” Rockies general manager Jeff Bridich said. “There is no sense or need to put the cart before the horse before we fully understood what the penalty was going to be under the policy.

“Now we’re going to have to start truly re-engaging with Jose and his agent, making sure we’re on the same page.”

The four-time All-Star shortstop will lose 52 days of pay under the agreement, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press, which amounts to $6,251,366 of Reyes’ $22 million salary. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because that aspect of the penalty wasn’t made public.

Rangers Call Up Bush After Prison Release

Arlington, Texas — When Matt Bush was released from prison last October after a 3½-year sentence for a drunken-driving accident, the former No. 1 overall draft pick was sober and just hoping for another chance to play baseball.

After only 12 relief appearances for the Texas Rangers’ Double-A team, the 30-year-old Bush made it to the majors for the first time Friday — a debut that came 12 years after he was picked first by his hometown San Diego Padres. The former shortstop has become a hard-throwing reliever and pitched a perfect ninth for the Rangers against Toronto in a 5-0 loss.

“Just thinking how hard I’ve been working lately, and just following the course, all together, it’s unbelievable,” Bush said. “It’s hard to explain.”

Bush was drafted in 2004, but he had several alcohol-related incidents and was traded five years later to Toronto. After being released by the Blue Jays, he signed a minor league deal as a pitcher with Tampa Bay.

Then came the March 2012 accident in Charlotte County in Florida that seriously injured a 72-year-old man on a motorcycle. Bush, accused of DUI and leaving the scene, went to prison after pleading no contest. He said the victim has since expressed his forgiveness and wished him the best in turning things around and overcoming his alcoholism.

The Rangers signed Bush to a minor league deal in December with conditions that remain in place. Bush is still in an Alcoholic Anonymous program, has a curfew and has to avoid alcohol. He can’t drive a motor vehicle, which is part of his deal but also because his license is suspended.

Reds’ Ohlendorf Suspended

Philadelphia— Cincinnati Reds pitcher Ross Ohlendorf was been suspended three games by Major League Baseball for throwing at Pittsburgh’s David Freese this week after warnings had been issued.

Ohlendorf also was fined Friday. He has appealed the penalties, and can pitch until there is a final resolution.

The Reds play at Philadelphia this weekend.

Reds manager Bryan Price was suspended one game and fined.

Ohlendorf was ejected after hitting Freese in the ninth inning Wednesday night at Cincinnati. The Pirates won 5-4 in a game in which four Pirates batters were hit and two Reds were plunked, continuing the recent bad blood between the teams.
