Julio Urías Escapes Felony Charge After Domestic Violence Arrest

Major League Baseball could still suspend the former Dodgers pitcher despite lack of criminal conviction.

Former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Julio Urías won't be charged with a felony following his arrest in September on suspicion of domestic violence.
The Los Angeles County district attorney's office stated that neither the victim's injuries nor Urías's criminal history justify a felony filing.
The case has been turned over to the city attorney to consider filing a misdemeanor.
Urías was placed on administrative leave indefinitely by Major League Baseball after his arrest, and could face suspension even without a criminal conviction.
Urías was previously arrested in May 2019 on suspicion of domestic battery and was suspended 20 games by MLB.
