The young St. Louis Cardinals prospect is to be buried Tuesday in Sosua. Among those expected are Cardinals manager Mike Matheny and teammates Yadier Molina and Carlos Martinez.
The 22-year-old Taveras was killed along with 18-year-old girlfriend Edilia Arvelo when his 2014 Chevy Camaro ran off the road between Sosua and Caberete.
A funeral for Arvelo was held Monday in her hometown of Moca.
Highway police spokesman Col. Diego Pesqueira says the road was wet from a recent rain but the cause of the crash is under investigation. An autopsy was done Monday but results weren't available.
