Edwin Encarnacion is facing a civil suit from a woman who claims that he knowingly infected her with sexually transmitted diseases, according to TMZ.

The Toronto Star has also reported on the story.

Encarnacion's representatives have strongly denied any wrongdoing and there is no indication either that a criminal investigation relating to the claims is being pursued, or that Major League Baseball will undertake its own investigation into the matter.

Darryl Strawberry is trying to save former New York Mets teammate Dwight Gooden before it's too late.

Strawberry believes Gooden has relapsed into the drug use that derailed his playing career.

"He's a complete junkie-addict," Strawberry told the New York's Daily News about Gooden. "I've been trying behind the scenes to talk to him and get him to go for help, but he won't listen."
