The woman who accused Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer of sexual assault testified Tuesday about the injuries she says she sustained at the baseball star's hands.

Lawyers for the woman, who Insider has chosen not to name, played a voicemail they say Bauer left as she was checked into the Palomar Medical Center in Escondido, California.

"Hey dude, just wanted to check in and see how you're doing, I'm worried about you," Bauer said in the voicemail.

Lawyers for the woman also shared text messages Bauer sent in response to photos of her face after one alleged assault in May, asking, "Damn girl are you ok?"

In a statement provided to Insider in August, Bauer's agent, Jon Fetterolf, denied allegations of sexual abuse and said the encounters between Bauer and the woman were consensual. Bauer is currently on leave from the Dodgers.

In court Tuesday, the woman continued her emotional testimony, saying that after the second time she alleges Bauer assaulted her, "I just wanted to get out of his house."

She described being nauseous and vomiting several times in a Starbucks parking lot on her way home to San Diego.

"I texted Trevor a picture of my face because I wanted him to see what he did. And I wanted to know what happened when I was unconscious," she said, adding that her injuries appeared worse the following day.

She said that she first went to an urgent care facility in San Diego for treatment because she didn't want to be seen by more people, but that facility told her to go to the ER because they couldn't treat her injuries.

"I felt lifeless," she said about arriving at the hospital. "I was so tired of telling the story."

"I did not want to talk to the police, but a social worker told me that because of the injuries it was the hospital's policy to call law enforcement," she added. "At first I refused to say his name, just that he was a baseball player."

The woman also described a deep fear and anxiety that set in several days after the second alleged assault. She said she told a cousin and a friend about the incident, and showed them her injuries.

The woman further testified that during a cold call she conducted with the Pasadena Police Department, Bauer "was asking how we could move forward." She added Bauer apologized on that call and admitted to punching her in the buttocks.

"I lost my job, I lost my residence. The sadness I live with every day, and the living in fear of Trevor Bauer, is brutal," she told the court. "I am terrified of him and what he can do to me."
