Overview

  • Urías’s yearlong domestic violence suspension ends July 16 and he’ll be removed from MLB’s restricted list on July 17, making him eligible to sign with any team.
  • His agent, Scott Boras, said Urías is determined to continue his career and is actively training to rebuild his arm strength.
  • Several clubs have made preliminary inquiries about the 28-year-old free agent, but no formal negotiations are underway.
  • Urías has not pitched in a major league game since September 2023 and will require a structured ramp-up plan before he can contribute.
  • He remains the only player suspended twice under MLB’s domestic violence policy, having first served a 20-game ban in 2019.
