Toronto Blue Jays closer Roberoto Osuna may be facing a "significant ban" as the assault allegations against him are of a "physical nature", according to Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports. Osuna's administrative leave was extended this week through May 28, and you can bet it's only going to be extended further with the initial hearing in mid-June. Osuna has denied any physical harm in this case, but the legal process will be the judge of that. There's a chance Osuna could face a 30-game ban, possibly more, depending on how this plays out. Fantasy owners should be planning to be without him for awhile. Tyler Clippard remains the closer in Toronto, though after Wednesday's disastrous outing one has to wonder if Ryan Tepera will get a shot any time soon.

Major League Baseball has extended the administrative leave of Toronto Blue Jays closer Roberto Osuna by another week, taking it through May 28. This is more for procedural purposes than anything else, and shouldn't be paid much attention to. Osuna's court date for an assault charge isn't until June 18; if past MLB suspensions in connection with similar charges are any indication, Osuna is going to be out for a long time. There's a fairly decent chance Osuna doesn't take the field again in 2018. For now, Tyler Clippard still seems like the ninth inning man in Toronto, though his horrid outing on Sunday could lead to other relievers getting an opportunity. Ryan Tepera has seemed like the better man for the job, but check back here for updates.

Toronto Blue Jays closer Roberto Osuna has been out on administrative leave following an arrest and assault charge, and he's not likely to be back anytime soon. On Monday, MLB announced the administrative leave for Osuna has been extended through May 21, but that's just a formality, as he'll be out much longer than that. Osuna's initial hearing is on June 18 and there is a very high degree of likelihood a long suspension is on the way. Osuna owners need to prepare as if they won't have him again for a long time, if not the rest of the year. The Blue Jays have only had one save opportunity in Osuna's absence, which went to Tyler Clippard, but as of now it's difficult to say if that's how the ninth inning is going to shake up every night. For now, Clippard is a must-own.

To update a previous item, Toronto Blue Jays closer Roberto Osuna has been placed on administrative leave by Major League Baseball while they investigate his arrest. Earlier on Tuesday, Osuna was arrested and charged with assaulting a woman. Obviously, terrible news for all parties involved. It remains to be seen how long Osuna will be out for, but fantasy owners will want to make other plans at the closer position since there is truly no timetable. Ryan Tepera seems like the choice as Osuna's replacement in Toronto, but that's simply speculation at this point. One would have to think Seunghwan Oh also could see some save chances.

In a story that's continuing to develop, Toronto Blue Jays closer Roberto Osuna was arrested on Tuesday and charged with assault on a woman. Osuna was subsequently released from custody and is scheduled to appear in court on June 18. It's unknown at this point what ramifications we'll see from the Blue Jays, but you can be sure the incident will be investigated by Major League Baseball, who have the authority to hand down discipline via their domestic-violence policy. There are obviously more important things going on here than simply baseball, but for fantasy purposes, owners may want to look into other closers just in case the elite 23-year-old misses time. In Toronto, Ryan Tepera may be the first choice in the ninth inning if Osuna is hit with a suspension, which seems likely. If you're desperate for saves, run to the waiver wire now and add Tepera.

After allowing runs in consecutive outings last week (his first runs allowed of the season), fantasy owners were a tad worried about Toronto Blue Jays closer Roberto Osuna. Fear not, as Osuna pitched a clean inning against the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday, picking up his eighth save of the season as a result. It was Osuna's second consecutive scoreless effort after last week's bump in the road. For the season, Osuna holds a sparkling 2.03 ERA and 1.05 WHIP with 11 strikeouts against one walk across 13 1/3 innings pitched. The 23-year-old reliever is electric and could very well finish as the top closer in fantasy baseball this season.

Toronto Blue Jays closer Roberto Osuna blew his first save of the year Tuesday against the Red Sox. Staked to a two-run lead going into the bottom of the ninth inning, Osuna gave up two runs, including four hits (all singles) and a walk. Osuna was actually fortunate that the damage wasn't worse, as Eduardo Nuñez ended the inning by getting thrown out at home trying to score the go-ahead run. The runs were the first of the season for Osuna, but his job is in no danger at all thanks to his 1.74 ERA and six saves on the year.

Everyone knew Toronto Blue Jays closer Roberto Osuna was among the best in baseball heading into the season, but in six appearances he's been nearly untouchable thus far. He picked up his fifth save of the young campaign on Tuesday against the Baltimore Orioles without allowing a hit. For the season, Osuna has pitched 6 1/3 innings without allowing any runs. He's allowed two hits and no walks for a minuscule WHIP of 0.32, while striking out three in the process. He currently leads the American League in saves, and is second overall in baseball to Jeurys Familia of the New York Mets, who has six. Osuna has a real chance to elevate himself to the best closer in baseball this year.

Toronto Blue Jays closer Roberto Osuna lost his arbitration case with the team, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today. The right-hander had filed for a $5.8MM payday in his first trip through the arbitration process, but he will instead take home the $5.3MM salary that Toronto filed for. Osuna was eligible for salary arbitration for the first time. The 22-year-old saved 39 games while notching a 3.38 ERA last year. He punched out 83 batters and walked just nine in 64 innings.

Toronto Blue Jays closer Roberto Osuna, who was away from the team this week for the birth of his child, has rejoined the team in Minnesota and is expected to be available out of the bullpen Friday. Osuna has a league-high 10 blown saves on the year, and he's spoiled wins for the Jays in each of his last two appearances. Hopefully the time away can help Osuna get back on track. If you own him, you'll want him back in your lineups.

Toronto Blue Jays acting manager DeMarlo Hale told reporters late Tuesday night that pitcher Roberto Osuna will remain the team's closer. Osuna blew his league-worst 10th save of the season on Tuesday at Fenway Park, allowing two runs in the ninth inning of a game that went 19 frames, but Hale was strong in his support of the 22-year-old right-hander after the demoralizing loss. Usual manager John Gibbons is away from the club for personal reasons and not expected back until Friday. If the Jays do make a change in the ninth-inning role, Ryan Tepera might get first crack.

There have been a few dominant closers in Major League Baseball this year, making Toronto Blue Jays ninth inning man Roberto Osuna seem a little underappreciated. Make no mistake about it, Osuna has been flatout ridiculous. He slammed the door on the Yankees on Tuesday in the Bronx, throwing a perfect inning while striking out two to pick up his 20th save of the season. It was Osuna's 10th straight scoreless performance, and 19th straight successful save conversion. After a rocky start to the season when he was dealing with neck stiffness, Osuna now owns a 2.18 ERA, 0.73 WHIP, and insanely great 46:3 K:BB over 33 innings pitched this year. The 22-year-old will be an elite closer for years to come.
