For the second time in as many days, MLB announced it will investigate an accusation of domestic violence against a player.
In the latest incident, the league told ESPN on Thursday it will look into a case involving Chicago Cubs shortstop Addison Russell, a former Oakland A’s prospect who was noticeably absent during the team’s 6-5 loss to the Miami Marlins on Wednesday.
The exact nature of the allegations remain unknown, however, they have to do with Russell’s wife Melisa, who published then deleted a strangely timed Instagram post on Wednesday hinting there were problems in her marriage.
