Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Julio Urias was arrested Sunday night on a felony domestic violence charge and posted $50,000 bail early Monday morning. He is set to appear in court September 27, according to USA Today‘s Bob Nightengale.
Urias, 27, was previously suspended for 20 games in 2019 due to an MLB domestic violence policy violation. He was accused of pushing a woman who accompanied him at a mall in Beverly Hills.

The woman involved in the incident later said she fell on her own, but Urias could expect to receive a similar punishment.
His court appearance is just a few days before the end of the MLB regular season. He is now at risk of missing the playoffs.
The league and team are investigating the situation, of which there are very few details, and it seems unlikely Dodgers will activate Urias.

Urias, however, has yet to be relegated to the restricted list or placed on administrative leave. Dodgers released a statement on social media confirming they’re aware of the gravity of the situation, also stating he is not traveling with the team.
“We are aware of an incident involving Julio Urias,” reads the 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 also entering the final stage of his contract with the Dodgers and will hit free agency for the first time in his career.
The 2023 Major League Baseball season concludes next Sunday, October 1 and the playoffs will begin on Tuesday, October 3.
