Wander Franco, the 22-year-old All-Star shortstop for the Tampa Bay Rays, was placed on administrative leave Tuesday as MLB and law enforcement in his native Dominican Republic investigate allegations of relationships with underage girls.
Franco had missed the past week of games after the Rays placed him on the restricted list on Aug. 14. He is being investigated by Dominican police as well as MLB's department of investigations.
What does administrative leave mean? When could Franco return? And what do we know -- and not know -- about the investigations? We're answering questions about Franco's case so far.
