In 2019, Urías was arrested on suspicion of domestic battery and was ultimately suspended for 20 games under the MLB’s domestic violence policy, even though he was ultimately not charged after witnesses saw him push a woman to the ground in the Beverly Center parking lot.
ESPN reports that no MLB player has been suspended twice for violating the league’s domestic abuse policy since it went into effect in 2015. This is Urías last season under contract with the Dodgers; he’s becoming a free agent this winter.
