Atlanta Braves outfielder Hector Olivera was arrested early Wednesday in Arlington, Virginia, on suspicion of assault.
Olivera was arrested at the Ritz-Carlton around 7 a.m. after a woman said he had assaulted. The woman appeared bruised, according to a police spokesperson.
Olivera, who is scheduled to appear before a magistrate judge and has not been formally charged, was put on administrative leave by Major League Baseball.
"We are extremely disappointed and trouble to learn of the allegations involving Hector Olivera," the Braves said in a statement. "We will continue to gather information and will address this matter appropriately as we determine the facts."
The Braves are scheduled to play the Washington Nationals at 7 p.m.
