ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports that Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Julio Urías has been arrested and charged with felony domestic violence charges. Urias, 27, was booked late Sunday and released Monday morning on $50,000 bond. Further details of the incident have not been made available.
The Dodgers released a statement saying: “We are aware of an incident involving Julio Urías. While we attempt to learn all the facts, he will not be traveling with the team. The organization has no further comment at this time.”
This is the second time Urías has had a domestic violence-related arrest. In May 2019, he was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence after allegedly shoving a woman he was with at a Los Angeles shopping mall. No charges were filed, and the woman later told investigators she fell in a parking lot during an argument. Urías still served a 20-game suspension for violating Major League Baseball’s Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Policy.
Urías has spent his eight-year MLB career with the Dodgers, helping they win the World Series title in 2020 and winning the National League ERA Title in 2022 after posting a 17-7 record, 2.16 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 166 strikeouts in 175 innings across 31 starts. This year, Urías holds an 11-8 record, 4.60 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 117 strikeouts in 117.1 innings across 21 starts. He last pitched Sept. 1, in a loss to the Atlanta Braves.
