Cleveland Indians right-hander Danny Salazar is being investigated by the Cleveland Police Department for a sexual assault complaint, Cleveland.com is reporting.
According to the website, the incident is alleged to have taken place Jan. 23, the day before the team's two-day Tribe Fest at Progressive Field on Jan. 24-25. The website reported that no other details of the case were available at this time.
The Indians said Wednesday in a statement they are aware of the investigation.
"Since this potentially could become a legal matter, we won't have any additional comment at this time," general manager Chris Antonetti said.
Salazar, 25, was 6-8 with a 4.25 ERA in 20 starts last season, when he bounced between the Indians and Triple-A Columbus. He is expected to compete for a spot in the team's starting rotation in spring training.
He opened 2014 in Cleveland's starting rotation, going 1-4 with a 5.53 ERA in his first eight starts. Salazar soared through the system in 2013 and started Cleveland's wild-card playoff game against Tampa Bay.
Indians pitchers and catchers are scheduled to report to Goodyear, Arizona, on Feb. 18.
