Elijah Dukes was being held in a Florida jail on Thursday after his pregnant ex-girlfriend accused him of slapping her in the face during an argument. Dukes, 26, was arrested Wednesday on charges of aggravated battery on a pregnant woman and driving with a revoked or suspended license. He began his career with the Rays and was traded to the Nationals in 2008. He was released before the 2010 season, even though he was projected to be the starting right fielder.
