Shinnosuke Abe, manager of the Yomiuri Giants, has stepped down following his arrest on suspicion of assaulting his daughter, the Japanese baseball club said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Abe, 47, was taken into custody by police for allegedly grabbing his 18-year-old daughter and forcing her to the floor at their home in Tokyo on Monday. He was later released.<\/p>\n
Giants president Toru Kunimatsu apologised, saying violence cannot be tolerated and the club takes the matter extremely seriously. He said the team will consider \u201cdisciplinary action\u201d, including Abe\u2019s future with the club.<\/p>\n
Abe, who has a reputation among Giants fans as a demanding manager who holds players to strict standards, has admitted to the allegation, telling investigators he lost his temper as he tried to mediate a fight between his daughters, according to an investigative source.<\/p>\n
Offensive chief coach Hideki Hashigami will serve as acting manager from Tuesday\u2019s interleague game against the SoftBank Hawks at Tokyo Dome, the Giants said.<\/p>\n
Abe was quoted by police as saying he told his daughters to be quiet, but they talked back to him and he became \u201cfurious\u201d. He was arrested at home in front of his daughters and wife, the source said. He is believed to have been drunk at the time of the incident.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Shinnosuke Abe, manager of the Yomiuri Giants, has stepped down following his arrest on suspicion of assaulting his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":708917,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2302],"tags":[5,88989,88990,2372,62,2353,2352,3586,4111,4886,6001,88947,3583],"class_list":["post-708916","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-npb","tag-baseball","tag-child-guidance-centre","tag-hideki-hashigami","tag-japan","tag-new-york-yankees","tag-nippon-professional-baseball","tag-npb","tag-shinnosuke-abe","tag-softbank-hawks","tag-tokyo","tag-tokyo-dome","tag-toru-kunimatsu","tag-yomiuri-giants"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116638809057633813","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/708916","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=708916"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/708916\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/708917"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=708916"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=708916"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=708916"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
