MLB also told ESPN that it is investigating Urías’s case. It is common for the league to place a player charged with domestic violence on administrative leave while the situation is under investigation.
It’s what MLB did with Urías in 2019 after he was arrested on suspicion of domestic battery. He wasn’t charged, but MLB stepped in with a 20-game suspension under its domestic violence policy.
No MLB player has been suspended twice for violating the policy.
he Mexican-born left-hander is pitching to a 4.60 ERA over 21 starts with the Dodgers in 2023. He did, however, own the league’s best ERA in 2022 at 2.16 over 31 starts and 175 innings.
For his career, Urías owns a 3.11 ERA over 158 games (122 starts and 117.1 innings) with an overall record of 60-25 in the regular season.
