Reyes was issued a warning citation to have no contact with his wife for three days after the arrest on Oct. 31.
The 32-year-old Reyes posted $1,000 in bond and was released.
An email and a telephone call from The Associated Press to Reyes' agents seeking comment on the arrest were not immediately returned. It is not clear if he has a lawyer.
The Rockies said in a statement late Monday that they were ''extremely disappointed and concerned to learn of the allegations involving Jose Reyes.'' The league said Tuesday it has started to look into the ''facts and circumstances.''
''Obviously, it's an issue of concern to us,'' Manfred said Tuesday at the general managers' meetings in Boca Raton, Florida. ''There's a balance there. On the one hand, I think our fans want to know that the cases have been dealt with appropriately.
''On the other hand, whoever the player is, the fact that he's a major league player doesn't mean that he has absolutely no right to privacy and that everything that's going on in the context of a relationship or a marriage has to be public.''
Colorado acquired the 32-year-old Reyes from Toronto in a July deal that sent Troy Tulowitzki to the Blue Jays. In 47 games with Colorado, Reyes hit .259 with three homers.
A four-time All Star, Reyes is signed through 2017 on a $106 million, six-year contract he received from Miami that includes a $4 million buyout in '18. He was acquired by Toronto in a November 2012 trade with Miami.
Reyes came up with the New York Mets and won a batting title in 2011.
