Cardinals pitcher Carlos Martinez faces charges and a possible fine for violating COVID-19 policies while apparently filming a video in his hometown in the Dominican Republic, according to reports from the Dominican and officials.
Martinez was not taken into custody, his representative said.
The Cardinals' righthander, who finished the season on the injured list with a strained oblique muscle, was participating in a video with a singer and social-media personality along a boardwalk in his hometown of Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. A photo of Martinez on a motorcycle with the singer riding on the back was circulated on Twitter.
