The Los Angeles Dodgers’ star pitcher, Julio Urías, known for his outstanding performance on the field, has unfortunately been arrested on suspicion of felony domestic violence. This comes as a shock after Urías’ previous suspension in 2019 for violating Major League Baseball’s domestic violence policy. Despite his recent achievements, including leading the National League in wins in 2021 and earned run average in 2022, Urías’ off-field actions have brought about serious consequences.
Upon learning about the incident, the Dodgers promptly addressed the situation on X (formerly Twitter), stating, “We are aware of an incident involving Julio Urías. While we seek to gather all the facts, he will not be traveling with the team. The organization will refrain from commenting further at this time.”
Urías had been scheduled to take the mound on Thursday in the upcoming three-game series against the Marlins in Miami. However, due to the recent arrest, his participation in the games is now uncertain.
Specific details regarding the circumstances leading to Urías’ arrest have not been made available yet. The Los Angeles Police Department informed City News Service that Exposition Park police arrested Urías. However, confirmation from the agency responsible for the arrest, the state Department of Public Safety, is still pending.
The arrest took place during a heavily congested evening in the area, coinciding with the soccer match between LAFC and Inter Miami at BMO Stadium. Notably, Urías, along with other celebrities, attended the game, which featured the renowned Argentinian star Lionel Messi, currently playing for the Miami club. Fellow Dodgers’ pitcher Clayton Kershaw was also reported to be present at the match.
Urías, who is on the brink of free agency, has shown decent performance this season with an 11-8 record and a 4.60 earned-run average. Since his debut with the Dodgers in 2016, he has built an impressive career, maintaining a lifetime record of 60-25 and an ERA of 3.11.
It’s worth noting that Urías previously faced suspension in 2019 after an incident in the parking lot of the Beverly Center. MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred suspended him when a witness reported an argument between Urías and a woman, with Urías allegedly shoving her to the ground. However, no charges were filed in that incident.
We now await further developments in this case, as Urías’ legal situation unfolds. Regardless, this incident undoubtedly tarnishes the reputation of a player once celebrated for his skills on the baseball field.
