MLB investigating alleged sexual assault at Rangers' DR academy

Major League Baseball and the Texas Rangers are investigating an alleged sexual assault involving multiple players at the club's academy in the Dominican Republic, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports.

A local news outlet reported that three members of the Rangers' Dominican Summer League team were arrested several months ago in relation to the incident, but sources said four players were involved in the alleged assault.

Charges have not yet been filed.

"The Texas Rangers became aware of an incident at our Academy in the Dominican Republic and we acted promptly to open an investigation," the team said in a statement.

"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."
