Here is what the Braves said regarding Olivera's arrest for alleged assaulting a woman at the team hotel.
When news of Hector Olivera's arrest broke this morning, the Braves very clearly went in to damage control mode. First, they declined immediate comment on the arrest, but then very quickly made it clear that they would not stay quiet long.
#Braves plan to release a statement soon regarding reported arrest of OF Hector Olivera on domestic-abuse charges at team's D.C. hotel.

Well, the team did not wait too long to make a statement on the arrest, which is certainly appropriate given the seriousness of the charges and the frenzy that fans have worked themselves in to over the arrest.
