Los Angeles, California - Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer will not answer any questions if asked to take the stand in his own defense during his sexual assault case in Los Angeles County.

While the sexual assault case against him continues on, Bauer (30) will invoke his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination should he take the stand at any time going forward.

This latest revelation in Bauer’s case was first reported by the Associated Press.

Shawn Holley, one of Bauer’s attorneys, informed LA Superior Court Judge Dianna Gould-Saltman of his client's intent during Wednesday’s court hearing in Los Angeles. He also specifically stated that the only questions Bauer will answer are "his name and what he does for a living," citing a pending criminal investigation by police elsewhere, in Pasadena, California.

Bauer would be the final witness to be called during this week’s scheduled appearances.

So far, both sides have gone over the disclosed evidence attached to a petition for a five-year restraining order against Bauer. The athlete's defense has also had the opportunity to cross-examine the unnamed woman regarding the evidence in the case.

Holley has previously requested that Bauer be excused from the stand altogether.

Bauer is charged with choking the woman unconscious and punching during in two sexual encounters. He has consistently denied these allegations and has even gone as far as attempting to salvage his reputation through his social media accounts.

Bauer is approaching the end of his extended MLB administrative leave, which is set to expire on August 20.
