MLB Suspends Julio Urías Through 2025 All-Star Break for Domestic Violence Policy Violation

The former Dodgers pitcher, now a free agent, receives his second suspension under the league's domestic violence policy after a 2023 incident involving his wife.

Julio Urías has been suspended through July 17, 2025, following an MLB investigation into a September 2023 domestic violence incident outside BMO Stadium in Los Angeles.
This marks Urías's second suspension under MLB's Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Policy, following a 20-game suspension in 2019 for a separate incident.
Urías pleaded no contest to one count of misdemeanor domestic battery in May 2024, leading to probation, community labor, and a domestic violence course as part of his sentencing.
The 28-year-old left-hander, who became a free agent after the 2023 season, has not pitched in the majors since September 2023 and remains unsigned.
MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred stated that the league will provide support services to Urías and his family, and Urías has agreed to undergo evaluation by the Joint Policy Board.
