Urías was arrested late Sunday night by the Ministry of Public Security’s Exposition Park branch, which confirmed on Wednesday that Urías was charged with violating the part of the penal code that prohibits physical violence against a spouse or roommate.

According to an online booking database from the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department, Urías was arrested just after 11 p.m. Sunday and arrested at 1:05 a.m. Monday. He posted $50,000 bail and was released after 4 a.m. His court date was scheduled for September 27.

“We are aware of an incident involving Julio Urías. While we’re trying to get all the facts out, he won’t be traveling with the team. The organization has no further comment at this time,” the Dodgers said wrote on social media on Monday. Urias did not travel to Miami with the Dodgers. His next scheduled launch was Thursday.

In 2019, Los Angeles Police Department arrested Urías on charges of negligent battery charging after an incident involving a woman in a mall parking lot. A city prosecutor declined to proceed with the indictment until Urías was arrested again over the next year for violent criminal conduct. He was also required to complete a domestic violence counseling program. Although Urías was not charged, MLB suspended him for 20 games due to their domestic violence policy.

Urías, a 27-year-old from Mexico, is in his eighth major league season, all with the Dodgers. When voting for the National League Cy Young Award, he has finished in the top 10 for the last two seasons – with a 2.16 ERA, the best in the league in 2022 – but is in 2023 with a 4 ERA .60 in 21 starts at 11-8.
