Former Dodgers pitcher Julio Urias pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor domestic battery charge yesterday, according to the Los Angeles City News Service. The L.A. City Attorney’s office reported that Urias must follow a 36-month probation, do 30 days of community service, finish a year-long domestic violence counseling program, pay a fee to a domestic violence fund, compensate the victim, and obey a protective order. He also cannot own any weapons. Officials dropped a second domestic battery charge, one count of injuring a spouse, one count of assault, and one count of false imprisonment as part of Urias” plea agreement.

In 2019, Urias faced a 20-game suspension under the league’s policy on domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse, but he wasn’t criminally charged. He was arrested again in September 2023 after someone reportedly filmed him on a cell phone during a public argument with a woman after a Major League Soccer match. He got out of jail by posting a $50,000 bond.

January documents from the District Attorney’s Office described Urias as having “pushed the victim against a fence and pulled her by the hair or shoulders” but only referred him for misdemeanor charges. Last month, the L.A. City Attorney filed five misdemeanor charges against him.

As the criminal case nears its end, Major League Baseball is likely to wrap up its investigation too. MLB had put Urias on paid leave soon after the incident. This leave is a common procedure and isn’t meant to punish the player. However, if the league finds wrongdoing or if criminal charges are confirmed, they might take back any salary Urias received during this leave.

Following his no-contest plea, if MLB decides to suspend him, Urias will be the first player to face multiple suspensions under this policy. After the 2024 season, Urias became a free agent and has not been signed by any team.
