Los Angeles Dodgers' Trevor Bauer facing allegations of assault [View all]

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Trevor Bauer is facing allegations of assault from a woman stemming from a sexual encounter earlier this year.

The Pasadena (California) Police Department said it is investigating the alleged assault, which it says occurred around the middle of May. The case could be turned over to the district attorney's office as soon as Wednesday, a source told ESPN, at which point a decision would be made on whether it will move forward.

The woman was granted a domestic violence restraining order in L.A. County Superior Court against Bauer, according to her attorney, Marc Garelick, who alleged in a statement that his client "suffered severe physical and emotional pain" as a result of a "recent assault" from Bauer.

Bauer's agent, Jon Fetterolf, released a lengthy statement to ESPN denying any wrongdoing on behalf of his client. In the statement, Fetterolf described the relationship as "consensual" and called the woman's allegations "baseless" and "defamatory."
