Julio Urias was previously involved in a domestic violence incident

The pitcher was formerly involved in a domestic violence incident in 2019, in which he was accused of pushing a woman he was with.

However, he was not charged as the alleged victim told investigators she fell. The lefty was eventually suspended for 20 games under MLB's Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, and Child Abuse Policy.

Julio Urias' baseball career

Urias, an incoming free agent, has a 4.60 ERA this year in 117 1/3 innings and owns a 3.11 career ERA. Although he might be seen as one of the most promising and skilled pitchers on the market, it is unclear as of now when he will get the chance to pitch again after his second domestic violence incident.

Urias recorded the last out of the 2020 World Series with the Dodgers and was one of the most valuable starters in baseball over the 2021 and 2022 seasons. He combined to throw 360 2/3 innings for a 2.57 ERA during those two seasons. 

In 2022, he finished third in National League Cy Young voting behind Sandy Alcantara and Max Fried after he won the ERA title with a 2.16 ERA in 175 innings. Urias missed about six weeks this season with a hamstring injury but found momentum in August when he posted a 2.90 ERA in 31 innings.

He gave up six and five earned runs to the Red Sox and Braves, respectively in his two latest starts. The Dodgers are 84-52 and lead the NL West by 14 1/2 games.
