A woman who claims she was physically assaulted by Dodger pitcher Trevor Bauer filed court papers Tuesday seeking a restraining order against the Cy Young Award winner, and Pasadena police confirmed they are investigating.
Court papers were not immediately available, but the woman’s attorney, Marc Garelick, told TMZ a judge on Tuesday issued a temporary restraining order, which he called “the result of a recent assault that took place at the hands of Mr. Bauer,” adding that his client “suffered severe physical and emotional pain.”
Another hearing in the case was set for July 23.
Representatives for Bauer could not be reached for immediate comment, and there was no immediate response to an email sent by City News Service to the Dodgers. TMZ reported that the 30-year-old pitcher maintains his interaction with the woman was a consensual sexual encounter, and he is cooperating with investigators.
Lt. Bill Grisafe of the Pasadena Police Department confirmed to CNS that the agency is investigating allegations against Bauer, but could not provide any additional details.
Bauer is in his first season with the Dodgers, posting an 8-5 record.
The former UCLA Bruin is the reigning National League Cy Young winner, earning the award with the Cincinnati Reds last season.
