Police arrested Dodgers starting pitcher Julio Urias Sunday night:
Dodgers pitcher Julio Urías was arrested late Sunday night and charged with felony domestic violence, Exposition Park police confirmed.
Urías was released Monday morning on $50,000 bond.
The Dodgers released a statement that read, “We are aware of an incident involving Julio Urías. While we attempt to learn all the facts, he will not be traveling with the team. The organization has no further comment at this time.”

Urias received a 20-game suspension from Major League Baseball for domestic violence in 2019. I suspect if there is a suspension this time, it will be much longer. He pitched poorly this season, posting a 4.60 ERA, compared to his career ERA of 3.11. His home run rate went way up, and he failed to limit hits in general.
FA at the end of the year. He just cost himself a lot of money. Too toxic for many teams, probably an 81 game suspension at least. 1 year, $2 million, with half that forfeited due to suspension.
And that’s if there isn’t jail time.
