A decision on the length of suspension issued to Colorado Rockies shortstop Jose Reyes for a domestic abuse incident involving his wife in Hawaii could be made soon.

According to Jon Heyman of MLB Network, the 32-year-old's suspension could be at least 60 games, and perhaps even jump to 80 games.

Reyes' ban is expected to be announced in the coming days according to Heyman, but he opines there is little doubt Reyes will receive at least double the 30-game suspension given to New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman for a separate domestic abuse incident.

The former New York Mets and Toronto Blue Jays shortstop was arrested Oct. 31 at the Wailea Four Seasons Resort.

Reyes will not face any criminal charges in the alleged incident, where his wife Katherine suffered injuries to her neck, wrist and thigh, after a judge dismissed him of any wrongdoing in early April.

The 13-year MLB veteran is currently on paid administrative leave and had $44 million left on his contract entering the 2016 campaign.
