CLEVELAND (AP) -- The Indians say they are aware of a police investigation involving pitcher Danny Salazar.
General manager Chris Antonetti released a statement Wednesday and says the team will not comment any further because of the potential of a legal matter.
Cleveland Police did not immediately return telephone messages.
Salazar is expected to compete for a starter's job at spring training. The 25-year-old went 6-8 in 20 starts last season, when he bounced between the Indians and Triple-A Columbus. He opened 2014 in Cleveland's starting rotation, going 1-4 with a 5.53 ERA in his first eight starts.
Salazar soared through the system in 2013 and started Cleveland's wild-card playoff game against Tampa Bay.
Indians pitchers and catcher are scheduled to report to Goodyear, Arizona on Feb. 18.
