Former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Julio Urías's almost two-year suspension will expire on July 18, when MLB returns from the All-Star break. He was initially suspended on Sept. 6, 2023, after he was arrested outside of LA's BMO Stadium for assault and MLB opened its own investigation. He had already been suspended once in August 2019 for domestic battery.
Urías faced criminal charges for the assault of his wife but avoided jail time and was instead sentenced to "36 months of probation" and asked to "complete 30 days of community service, complete a year-long domestic violence counseling program, pay a fee to a domestic violence fund, pay restitution to the victim and abide by a protective order" in May 2024.
