1. **Investigation:** Upon learning of an incident, MLB conducts a thorough investigation, which may include interviews, reviewing evidence, and assessing the severity.
2. **Determination:** Based on findings, the league’s Office of the Commissioner determines whether a violation occurred and the appropriate sanction.
3. **Notification and Suspension:** Players are informed of the decision, and suspensions are implemented, often with opportunities for appeal.
4. **Public Announcement:** The league releases a statement outlining the disciplinary action, respecting privacy and legal considerations.
Suspensions for violating the PCP can range from a few games to indefinite suspensions, depending on the severity. The current 10-week suspension indicates a serious but not career-ending violation.
