Former Dodgers pitcher Urias suspended over domestic violence case
Former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Julio Urias will be suspended from baseball until July after violating Major League Baseball's domestic violence policy, the league said on Friday.
The 28-year-old Mexican left-hander has not played professionally since being placed on administrative leave in September 2023 following his second arrest on domestic violence allegations.
Urias, whose eight seasons at the Dodgers included throwing the final out in the team's 2020 World Series victory, was released by the team at the end of the 2023 season.
He has been a free agent since being cut from the Dodgers, but has not been picked up by any team.
The league said Friday Urias's suspension would run through July 17, 2025. After that date he will be free to sign for a club.
"The Office of the Commissioner of Baseball has completed its investigation into allegations that free agent pitcher Julio Urías violated Major League Baseball's Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Policy," MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement on Friday.
"Having reviewed all of the available evidence, I have concluded that Mr. Urías violated our Policy and that discipline is appropriate."
