NEW YORK (AP) Yankees pitcher Domingo German gave a public apology Wednesday for actions that led to a lengthy suspension under Major League Baseball's domestic violence policy, a day after he spoke with New York teammates and admitted he had engaged in dangerous conduct.
Speaking softly and dabbing his eyes at times, German said through a translator he wanted "to sincerely apologize to the Steinbrenner family, my teammates, the front office and those around me who love me. I have made mistakes of which I'm not proud of."
The 28-year-old has been welcomed by teammates but also faced wariness as he attempts to regain a place in the starting rotation.
