Hector Olivera Leave Reportedly Extended Amid Domestic Violence Investigation

As Major League Baseball's investigation into an alleged domestic violence incident continues, Atlanta Braves outfielder Hector Olivera reportedly had his paid leave extended on Wednesday.

David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported MLB extended Olivera's leave.

On April 13, Jeff Goldberg of ABC 7 in Virginia reported that Olivera was arrested for a domestic dispute that took place in Arlington, Virginia.

The Braves released a statement regarding the situation involving Olivera the same day his arrest happened, announcing they'd placed him on the restricted list:

We are extremely disappointed and troubled to learn of the allegations involving Hector Olivera.
