Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco has been summoned by authorities in the Dominican Republic to answer a complaint of allegations that he had inappropriate relationships with minors.
Franco and his lawyers are required to attend a meeting on Thursday with the Specialized Prosecutor's Office for Children and Adolescents in the city of Santo Domingo.
Franco, who is from the Dominican Republic, was placed on administrative leave last August by MLB, which is also investigating the allegations.
At least two people have filed league action against Franco and he is also under investigation for allegedly having a relationship with a third minor, sources told ESPN, though there has been no formal complaint to authorities from the third girl.
