They’re both under investigation by the FAA.

In a since-deleted video posted to social media, a Rockies hitting coach is seen sitting in a pilot’s seat in the cockpit of the team’s plane heading from Denver to Toronto.

The flight’s pilots are being withheld from service while the investigation is underway.

The Rockies told the Denver Post today that they have no comment on the situation.

University of Washington running back Tylin “Tybo” Rogers has pled not guilty to rape charges.

Rogers was arrested earlier this month and is accused of raping two women.

Investigators say one of the assaults was reported days before the PAC-12 championship game and say there were emails sent within the athletic department that Rogers should be taken off the roster.

UW claims the criminal complaint that was released earlier this month contained new information, and that it immediately took more actions to address the safety concerns.

Rogers remains free on $300,000 bail, his next court date is May 21.
