ESPN’s Jerry Crasnick reports that the Pirates are “looking into the report”, and will release a statement later tonight:

This is the second time of 2016 that Kang has been in the news for the wrong reasons, as he was investigated by Chicago police earlier in the year for an alleged sexual assault.

We’ll update the post with the Pirates’ statement and any further notable information.
