Dodgers pitcher Julio Urias was arrested on felony domestic violence charges Sunday night in Los Angeles, ESPN reported Monday.
The 27-year-old left-hander was arrested just after 11 p.m. PT on Sunday, booked into jail at about 1 a.m. and released early Monday morning on $50,000 bond, per the report. He has a court date scheduled for Sept. 27.
“We are aware of an incident involving Julio Urias,” the Dodgers said in a statement. “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 is 11-8 with a 4.60 ERA in 21 starts this season. He had been scheduled to start on Thursday night at Miami.
Major League Baseball is investigating Urias’ second domestic violence arrest in four years, according to ESPN.
Players facing domestic crimes are typically placed on administrative leave by the league during the investigation.
Urias was previously arrested for domestic battery in May 2019. MLB suspended him 20 games after he allegedly pushed a woman to the ground in a Los Angeles mall parking lot.
Prosecutors elected not to file misdemeanor charges in that incident provided that he meet certain conditions, including 52 weeks of domestic counseling.
A 20-game winner in 2021 and the National League ERA leader (2.16) in 2022, Urias is 60-25 with a 3.11 ERA in 158 games (122 starts) since making his MLB debut with the Dodgers in 2016. He finished third in the NL Cy Young voting last season.
