Baltimore Orioles minor league pitcher Miguel Gonzalez died from injuries sustained Saturday in a car crash in his native Dominican Republic.
"Our organization is deeply saddened by the tragic passing of Miguel Gonzalez," executive vice president Dan Duquette said in a statement. "Miguel was beloved by his teammates and coaches in the Dominican Republic. Our thoughts are with his family and friends during this very difficult time."
This is the second time one of the Orioles players died in a vehicle-related accident in the Dominican Republic in the last two years. In January 2016, infielder Ramon Ramírez died from injuries suffered in a motorcycle accident.
