The suspension stems from an allegation that German slapped his girlfriend, who is the mother of his two children, at a September charity event.
The MLB's statement added that German has"agreed not to appeal the discipline" and noted what the pitcher will do to overcome this suspension: a charity donation and entering a treatment program.
"He has also agreed to make a contribution to Sanctuary for Families, a New York City-based non-profit organization dedicated to aiding victims of domestic violence," the statement says."Consistent with the terms of the policy, German will participate in a confidential and comprehensive evaluation and treatment program supervised by the Joint Policy Board.
