10:43 AM PT -- Puig's attorneys tell TMZ Sports ... the ex-MLB star did pay the accuser as part of the settlement, saying, "the plaintiff will retain approximately $100,000 or less after covering her attorneys fees and costs."
The attorneys from Lesowitz Gebelin LLP added, "Yasiel specifically denied any admission or implication of fault or wrongdoing."
Yasiel is now turning his attention toward returning to baseball in 2022 with the case behind him, the attorneys said.
Yasiel Puig has settled his sexual battery case after cutting a check to his accuser, TMZ Sports has learned.
We broke the story, a woman -- ID'd as Jane Roe in court docs -- alleged the former L.A. Dodgers star forced her into a bathroom while at a Lakers game at Staples Center in 2018 and was sexually inappropriate with her.
The woman claimed she did not know Puig before the incident ... and eventually sued him in 2020 over it all, asking for more than $50,000.
At the time, Puig denied any wrongdoing ... saying in a statement, "The fact is that I had consensual sex with a woman I met at a Lakers game after she propositioned me."
He continued, "Afterward, we talked about going out together, but she said she did not want her fiancé to find out. We messaged each other afterward and planned to get together again, but we never did. She's now suing me based on completely made-up allegations."
The two battled it out in court over the last year ... but sources tell us the sides settled this week after Puig paid the accuser an undisclosed amount.
Court documents confirmed the settlement.
We've reached out to Puig's attorneys for comment, but so far, no word back yet.
As for the accuser, her attorney, Vince Finaldi, tells us the case "has been resolved to the satisfaction of all parties."
Puig, meanwhile, has been out of the MLB since 2019 ... when he last played for the Cleveland Indians.
