"The Indians pitcher known to date as Fausto Carmona has been released from jail in the Dominican Republic on bail, but it is unclear how long it might be before he is able to return to the United States.

As first reported by The Associated Press, Carmona was released on Friday after his arrest one day earlier for using a false identity. The pitcher's actual name is believed to be Roberto Hernandez Heredia.

Carmona was arrested on Thursday outside the United States consulate in Santo Domingo while on his way to apply for a visa, so he could travel to Arizona for Spring Training. The Indians are currently working to gather more information to determine their next step in response to the situation. "
