A judge granted Brett Gardner's request for a restraining order against fan Gina Devasahayam, whom the New York Yankees outfielder says has "harassed and menaced" him and his family since 2015.

Rachel Green and Jorge Fitz-Gibbon of the New York Post reported Bronx Supreme Court Justice Eddie McShan granted Gardner's request Monday, a week after he filed for the order. McShan said Devasahayam "could be a danger to Gardner and his family."

Devasahayam told the New York Post that she and Gardner developed a relationship on social media despite never meeting in person.
