Dodgers’ Trevor Bauer Is Accused of Assaulting a Woman

Law enforcement authorities in Southern California have confirmed that they are investigating an assault allegation against Trevor Bauer, the star pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Lieutenant Bill Grisafe, a spokesman for the Pasadena Police Department, said late Tuesday night that a woman had accused Bauer, 30, of assaulting her in the city on or around May 16, and that the department had begun looking into the allegation soon after it was reported to the police.

“The Dodgers were made aware of the allegations against Trevor Bauer late this afternoon,” the Dodgers said in a statement released late Tuesday, “and immediately contacted Major League Baseball, which will be handling this matter. The Dodgers take any allegations of this nature very seriously, but will have no further comment at this time.”

On Tuesday, a woman filed a request in Los Angeles County Superior Court for a temporary domestic violence restraining order against Bauer.
