Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer, who has been accused of sexual assault, has had his administrative leave extended through next week by Major League Baseball.

The baseball player's administrative leave was extended on Thursday until Aug. 13 while sports investigators probe the allegations, the Associated Press reported.

The MLB initially placed Bauer on paid leave on July 2 under the organization's joint domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse policy.

A California woman has accused Bauer of choking her until she lost consciousness and punching her during two sexual encounters this year.

According to new court documents, the woman had texted her cousin, saying that Bauer gave her "two black eyes."

Bauer has denied all of the allegations.
