Portugal Colonial - Dodgers pitcher Urias arrested on domestic violence charge

The 27-year-old Mexican left-hander was apprehended Sunday and released Monday on $50,000 bond, police said.

Urias was involved in a May 2019 incident at a mall parking lot in Beverly Hills where he was accused of shoving a woman to the ground.

While he was not prosecuted over the matter, Urias was suspended for 20 games for violating MLB's domestic violence policy.

Urias helped the Dodgers win the 2020 World Series.

He had the best record in the National League in 2021 at 20-3 and last year had the lowest earned-run average in the NL at 2.16.

Urias has spent his entire eight-year MLB career with the Dodgers.

The latest incident came in the wake of a disappointing Friday performance by Urias on the mound, where he surrendered five runs in five innings in a 6-3 home loss to Atlanta.

Urias is set to become a free agent at the end of the campaign.
