David Fletcher is continuing to play in the Atlanta Braves' minor league system while MLB probes a report of him gambling illegally.
The infielder was in the lineup for the Triple-A Gwinnett Stripers on Tuesday, a day after ESPN reported MLB had opened an investigation into his involvement with illegal bookmaker Mathew Bowyer, the same bookie involved in the Ippei Mizuhara-Shohei Ohtani scandal.
Fletcher was previously reported to have made bets on sports with Bowyer, but not on baseball. Placing illegal bets is still a violation of MLB rules, though, with punishment at the discretion of Rob Manfred.
