It's not that. It would have been announced that he was on paid administrative leave. In this case, he's taking leave without pay. The MLBPA-MLB CBA only provides for very limited paid leave. Obviously there is no vacation. There is sick leave to the extent that players are placed on the IL if they are injured or ill and cannot perform for 10-days or more. They get 2-3 days of paid leave for the birth of a child or death of a parent, spouse, or child. Otherwise, they have to take LWOP for any other issue. The NY Post, for whatever it's worth, had an article reporting that it was some kind of marital issue.
