Kristen Eck described the allegations in an Instagram post on Tuesday. Though she never mentions Norris by name in the post, she mentioned that she was engaged to Norris in a previous interview.

The 28-year-old Norris has played 43 games for the Rays this season after being released by the Washington Nationals.
