MLS said Pappa, 27, will undergo an assessment as part of the league's Substance Abuse and Behavioral Health Program. He will be unable to play again until that assessment is complete, he is cleared by the doctors and MLS completes its investigation.
"We are gathering information on this matter and have been in contact with the league office, the MLS Players Union, local law enforcement and Marco directly," Sounders general manager and president of soccer Garth Lagerwey said in a statement. "We will continue to work in cooperation with all involved parties and will have no further comment until more information is available."
Philadelphia Union forward C.J. Sapong missed three games this season because of a similar arrest.
Pappa, a Guatemala native, has played 16 MLS matches for the Sounders this season, scoring two goals and providing five assists.
He featured for Guatemala at the CONCACAF Gold Cup, playing in three matches as it failed to progress out of its group.
