Major League Baseball announced on Friday that free-agent pitcher Julio Urías has been suspended until the All-Star break. The 28-year-old pitcher violated the league’s Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, and Child Abuse Policy, according to ESPN’s Jesse Rogers.
Urías will face nearly 100 games of suspension. His former team, the Los Angeles Dodgers, is scheduled to play 99 games between Opening Day and the Home Run Derby, which will take place at Truist Park, home of the Atlanta Braves.
«The Office of the Commissioner of Baseball has completed its investigation into allegations that free agent pitcher Julio Urías violated Major League Baseball’s Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Policy», said Rob Manfred in a press release on Friday. «Having reviewed all of the available evidence, I have concluded that Mr. Urías violated our Policy and that discipline is appropriate
Julio Urías spent 8 years with the Los Angeles Dodgers, winning the 2020 World Series. He was on track for a big contract before his involvement in a fight with his wife in September 2023. This marks his second violation of the Domestic Violence policy.
In 2019, the Mexican pitcher was also suspended for 20 games following an investigation into domestic battery.
It seems unlikely that anyone will give Julio Urías a third chance, and he could face a fate similar to that of his former teammates Trevor Bauer and Roberto Osuna.
