Julio Urías Charged With Five Misdemeanors After Domestic Violence Incident

The former Dodgers pitcher faces legal and professional consequences following his arrest last September.

Julio Urías, former Dodgers pitcher, faces five misdemeanor charges related to a domestic violence incident with his wife in September 2023.
The charges include spousal battery, false imprisonment, assault, and two counts of domestic battery involving a dating relationship.
Urías was placed on administrative leave by MLB following his arrest and did not return to play for the Dodgers; he became a free agent after the season.
If convicted, Urías could become the first player to be suspended twice under MLB's domestic violence policy.
Urías' MLB future is uncertain as he faces potential disciplinary action from the league, regardless of the criminal case outcome.
