Major League Baseball has placed Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer on seven-day administrative leave effective immediately as it investigates allegations of assault.
“MLB’s investigation into the allegations made against Trevor Bauer is ongoing,” reads a statement from MLB. “While no determination in the case has been made, we have made the decision to place Mr. Bauer on seven-day administrative leave effective immediately. MLB continues to collect information in our ongoing investigation concurrent with the Pasadena Police Department’s active criminal investigation. We will comment further at the appropriate time.”
Police in Pasadena, Calif., are investigating claims by a woman who has also obtained a protection order against Bauer, according to her attorney. Jon Fetterolf, Bauer’s co-agent, has disputed the allegations.
