Overview

• Tomateros de Culiacán included Julio Urías among 65 players invited to report for preseason workouts beginning September 8 in Culiacán, marking his first professional engagement since his September 2023 arrest and MLB suspension.
• Major League Baseball restored Urías’s free-agent eligibility on July 17, 2025, but no MLB contract has been reported and accounts vary on whether teams have expressed genuine interest.
• Being on the invite list does not guarantee a roster spot; Culiacán holds his Liga Mexicana del Pacífico rights and will decide his fate based on camp performance and his decision to report.
• If Urías accepts and impresses in camp, he could participate in Tomateros’ preseason tours to Puerto Vallarta and La Paz before the LMP season opener on October 15.
• His status as the only player to face multiple domestic-violence policy suspensions in MLB continues to shape how clubs evaluate his professional return.
