Tampa Bay Rays infielder Wander Franco has been placed on administrative leave, per an announcement from MLB. This is the result of an agreement between MLB and the MLBPA, per the announcement, and “is not disciplinary under the Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Policy.”
Franco has been inactive since August 13, 2023, when there were things posted on social media that indicated that Franco was in an inappropriate relationship with an underage girl. Since then it has been reported that the authorities in the Dominican Republic are investigating allegations that Franco has had an inappropriate relationship with another, different underage girl.
