what happened to julio urías

Julio Urías is currently out of Major League Baseball after being suspended under MLB’s domestic violence policy, and as of mid‑2025 he has been working toward a possible return once that suspension ended.

Key events

• In September 2023, Urías was arrested in Los Angeles on suspicion of felony domestic violence after an incident outside a soccer match.

• MLB investigated and, in March 2024, issued a lengthy suspension that ran through the 2025 All‑Star break, marking his second suspension under the league’s domestic violence policy (the first came in 2019).

• During this time, his Dodgers contract expired after the 2023 season and no MLB team signed him for 2024, so he has not pitched in the majors since 2023.

Legal outcome

• Following the 2023 incident, Urías was charged with five misdemeanors and ultimately pleaded no contest to one count of misdemeanor domestic battery; the remaining four counts were dropped.

• He was sentenced to 36 months of probation, 30 days of community service, and mandatory counseling as part of the resolution of the case.

Where things stand now

• By mid‑2025, his suspension period was scheduled to end around the 2025 All‑Star break, making him eligible for reinstatement afterward.

• His agent, Scott Boras, has said that Urías has every intention of continuing his career and is training to get back into pitching shape, though it is unclear whether an MLB team will sign him.

Possible future

• Reports have suggested that if he cannot secure an MLB deal, Urías could pursue opportunities in Mexico, including winter ball in the Liga ARCO Mexicana del Pacífico, or potentially future international events if eligible.

• Public and team perception remains a major factor; any club considering him has to weigh his on‑field track record against the serious off‑field history and prior suspensions.
