Former New Mexico running back Romell Jordan, the adopted brother of Boston Red Sox catcher Blake Swihart, has died at the age of 23, according to the team.
Swihart has left the team to be with his family, according to the Red Sox, who added that the family is seeking privacy at this time.
No details about Jordan's death have been released.
Earlier Wednesday, Red Sox manager Alex Cora said a team member was dealing with a "family emergency." The team also canceled media availability, other than Cora's comments.
Red Sox pitcher David Price appeared to address the situation in a tweet Wednesday morning.
