Los Angeles Dodgers Pitcher Julio Urías Arrested on Domestic Violence Charges

Los Angeles Dodgers star Julio Urías has been arrested on felony domestic violence charges and will not travel with the team for upcoming games.

Los Angeles Dodgers star Julio Urías has been arrested on felony domestic violence charges, according to multiple reports. The incident occurred shortly after 11 p.m. on Sunday near BMO Stadium, where Urías had attended a soccer game. He was taken into custody and later released on $50,000 bond. Urías is scheduled to appear in court on September 27.

The Dodgers have released a statement regarding the incident, stating that Urías will not be traveling with the team for their upcoming road games. The organization is aware of the situation and is in the process of gathering all the facts. They have no further comment at this time.

This is not the first time Urías has faced allegations of domestic violence. In 2019, he was arrested at a shopping mall on suspicion of domestic violence. However, prosecutors declined to take action as long as he did not engage in violent criminal behavior for a year. He did receive a 20-game suspension from Major League Baseball under their domestic violence policy.

Urías is currently under contract with the Dodgers for one season, with a deal worth $14.25 million. He has an 11-8 record and a 4.60 ERA. However, his future with the team is uncertain as he is set to become a free agent next season.

It is important to note that domestic violence is a serious issue that should never be taken lightly. It is crucial for individuals and organizations to address and condemn such behavior, and to support victims in seeking justice and healing. The Dodgers' decision to not have Urías travel with the team shows their commitment to taking these allegations seriously and prioritizing the well-being of their players and the integrity of the sport.
