Colorado Rockies shortstop Jose Reyes will remain on paid administrative leave until after commissioner Rob Manfred completes his investigation under MLB's domestic violence policy, the league announced Wednesday.

Hours earlier, Maui prosecutors said they would no longer pursue a domestic abuse charge against Reyes because his wife isn't cooperating. Reyes, a four-time All-Star, pleaded not guilty to abusing a family or household member after he was arrested and released on $1,000 bond in connection with the Oct. 31 incident at the Wailea Four Seasons Resort in Hawaii.

According to a 911 call released by police, a hotel security guard reported a woman had injuries to her leg and scratches on her neck.

Reyes was scheduled to go to trial April 4, the same day his Rockies are set to begin their season in Arizona.

Manfred had previously said that any potential discipline would be determined following the completion of Reyes' criminal investigation. It's the third such case under the league's new policy after Manfred suspended Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman for 30 games, and decided against disciplining Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig. Neither player was criminally charged for their alleged involvement in domestic cases.

A league official told MLB.com on Wednesday that there is no timetable for when Manfred will make a decision on Reyes, who has been absent from spring training after being placed on the restricted list.
