Case against Dodgers' Trevor Bauer handed over to district attorney

Earlier on Friday, it was learned that Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Trevor Bauer had his paid administrative leave extended a seventh time through Sept. 3 by MLB and the MLB Players Association amid allegations of sexual assault made against the 30-year-old. 

ESPN's Alden Gonzalez and Steve Henson of the Los Angeles Times have since reported that the City of Pasadena Police Department has concluded its investigation into the allegations made against Bauer and turned the case over to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, which will determine if the reigning National League Cy Young Award winner will face any charges. 

Bauer hasn't pitched for the Dodgers since June 28 and has been on paid administrative leave since July 2 but has repeatedly claimed all sexual encounters with his accuser were "wholly consensual." Last week, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Dianna Gould-Saltman denied the woman's request for a restraining order and said Bauer posed no threat to his accuser. 

The Pasadena Police Department investigated the allegations for over three months, so it's possible Bauer may not face any criminal charges before the MLB season ends this fall. MLB is conducting its own investigation and could theoretically suspend Bauer even if he is never formally charged. 

There's no indication the Dodgers plan to bring Bauer back this season regardless of the outcomes of the criminal case and/or the MLB investigation.
