Elmer Reyes, a minor league infielder in the Braves system, has been charged with rape and kidnapping in Columbus, Ohio.
According to the Columbus Dispatch, a woman told police she and another woman met Reyes after Friday night's Gwinnett Braves-Columbus Clippers game and agreed to go to a bar with him.
The woman said Reyes then paid for a hotel room because he didn't want the women to drive after they had been drinking. One of the women fell asleep upon entering the room, and Reyes allegedly pinned the other to the bed and forced her to have intercourse.
The woman later called 911 and reported the incident. Court records show rape and kidnapping charges were filed Saturday.
Reyes, 24, is out on bond and has a preliminary hearing scheduled for June 2.
Reyes has not played since Friday night and Gwinnett's roster shows his status as "Restricted." The Nicaragua native is hitting .216 in 30 games this season; he appeared in three games for the Braves in spring training, going 1 for 5 at the plate.
He has been with the Braves organization since being signed as a free agent in May 2009. Baseball America rated him the No. 29 prospect in Atlanta's system following last season.
"We were very concerned to learn of the arrest of Elmer Reyes in Franklin County on Saturday (May 23) morning," the Braves said in a statement. "We will withhold further comment until we learn additional details and have all of the facts."
