Major League Baseball is investigating reports that Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Yunel Escobar wore eye black depicting a gay slur written in Spanish, a league spokesperson told ESPN.com's Jerry Crasnick.

At least one photo taken by Getty Images shows Escobar wearing the eye black with the slur during Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox.

Getty Images confirmed the photo's authenticity to ESPN.com's Keith Law.

One of Escobar's agents declined to comment when reached by Crasnick on Monday.

Escobar, 29, played the entire game Saturday but was scratched from the lineup Sunday due to flu-like symptoms.

ESPN.com's Jerry Crasnick and Keith Law contributed to this report.
