Major League Baseball and the Texas Rangers are investigating an alleged sexual assault involving four players at the Rangers’ academy in the Dominican Republic. Charges have not been filed, according to Fox Sports’ Ken Rosenthal.
The four unnamed players were placed on leave in accordance with minor-league baseball’s domestic violence, and they will reportedly remain on leave until the investigation is complete.
The Rangers released a statement on Thursday:
“The Texas Rangers became aware of an incident at our Academy in the Dominican Republic and we acted promptly to open an investigation. We have reported the incident and are cooperating fully with Major League Baseball and the authorities in the Dominican Republic. With this being an ongoing investigation, we will have no further comment at this time.”
