(LA) Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Julio Urias has been arrested on charges of causing bodily harm to his spouse or someone he lives with, a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s spokeswoman said. Los Angeles, Tuesday.
Urias did not travel with the Dodgers to Miami, where they began a three-game series Tuesday night. His next departure was scheduled for Thursday.
“For us it’s one day at a time,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said before the series opener. I don’t want to project myself too far into the future. As time goes by on certain things, you learn that simplifying, day to day, is the best way to handle things. »
Urias was arrested by public safety officers at Exposition Park on Sunday evening. BMO Stadium is located in the park and Inter Miami, led by Lionel Messi, played a game there. Several stars attended the meeting.
Officer Maria Lucero confirmed the charge. No further details have been released so far. The Dodgers declined to comment on the matter.
Urias posted $50,000 bail, being released shortly before 5 a.m. Monday morning, according to information from the Los Angeles County Sheriff. He is due in court on September 27.
Major League Baseball has begun an investigation into the matter.
The 27-year-old Mexican was arrested in May 2019 for domestic violence. He was suspended for 20 games by Major League Baseball, but was not formally charged by Los Angeles prosecutors on the condition that he complete a 52-week domestic violence prevention program.
“I didn’t speak to the team [about it],” Roberts said. I think everyone is aware. I think everyone feels the same as me about these very unfortunate circumstances. I don’t think anyone knows everything that happened. I think the guys are focused on today. »
Urias is 11-8 with a 4.60 ERA this season. He is playing under a one-year, $14.25 million contract. He helped the Dodgers win the World Series at the end of the 2020 season, which was cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic.
