Odubel Herrera has domestic violence charge dismissed Wednesday

Phillies outfielder Odubel Herrera, who has been on administrative leave since getting arrested for domestic violence in late May, had those charges dismissed in court on Wednesday. According to Meghan Montemurro, "The state is not able to proceed with the charges because the plaintiff, his girlfriend, doesn’t want to go forward with them." (Meghan Montemurro on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
Herrera's leave was just extended to July 5, and it seems likely at this point that the team will re-evaluate the situation over the All-Star break and decided how they want to proceed. Major League Baseball could still pursue a suspension of their own despite the charges being dismissed, but it's possible that they could consider the month that he has already missed as a suspension. Look for an update from the Phillies over the next week or so.
