— -- The Colorado Rockies issued a statement late Monday night that they are "extremely disappointed and concerned" to learn of the domestic abuse allegations involving shortstop Jose Reyes.

Reyes was reportedly arrested Oct. 31 in Maui for allegedly grabbing his wife, Katherine, by the throat and shoving her into the sliding glass door of their hotel room at the Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea, according to Hawaii News Now. 

Reyes was arrested after hotel security called police, Hawaii News Now reports. He was released on bail. 

Katherine was taken to the Maui Memorial Medical Center with injuries to her thigh, neck and wrist, according to the report. 

The Rockies' statement went on to say, "We continue to gather information and will address this matter appropriately, in accordance with Major League Baseball's Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Policy."

In August, MLB announced a new domestic violence policy that allows the commissioner to issue discipline for "just cause," the same standard used under the sport's collective bargaining agreement.

Reyes, 32, was acquired by the Rockies in the trade that sent  Troy Tulowitzki to the Toronto Blue Jays. Reyes said in late August that he'd welcome a trade from Colorado. He is owed $56 million through 2017.

Reyes, a career .290 hitter, batted .259 with three home runs, 19 RBIs and eight stolen bases in 47 games with Colorado. The Rockies finished 68-94, last in the National League West. 

Reyes previously played for the Miami Marlins and New York Mets. He is the latter's all-time leader in triples and stolen bases.
