Elijah Dukes

Tampa Bay Devil Rays' outfielder Elijah Dukes has been dropped from the team's roster.

Dukes, who has fathered five children by four women, has been accused by his wife of threatening to kill her and their children.

A 17-year-old foster child also says she is pregnant with Dukes' child. The last straw may have been when Dukes went on a rant when calling into a local sports radio show Tuesday morning.

Dukes has been reassigned to the minor leagues and been placed on the temporary inactive list. He used to star at Hillsborough High.

Watch the Toyota Sports Connection at 11 p.m. for more details.
