Trevor Bauer’s leave from the Dodgers has been extended through Aug. 6 under an agreement between Major League Baseball and the players union, the third time the pitcher’s original paid administrative leave from July 2 has been extended, according to a person familiar with the situation who is not authorized to speak publicly. Bauer last pitched for the Dodgers on June 28, one day before a woman accused him of sexual assault and obtained a temporary restraining order against him in Los Angeles Superior Court. MLB is conducting a separate investigation to determine if the right-hander has violated its joint domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse policy. A hearing for Bauer to contest the restraining order began on Friday and is scheduled to resume Aug. 2. Judge Dianna Gould-Saltman let the existing restraining order remain in place through the hearing.
