Dodgers' Julio Urias arrested on suspicion of domestic violence
Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Julio Urias was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence in Los Angeles.

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Julio Urias was arrested Sunday on suspicion of domestic violence in Los Angeles.



Urias was arrested Sunday around 11:09 p.m. near Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Hoover Street, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.



The department says he was arrested by Exposition Park Police, a state police department that patrols the Exposition Park area, including the Coliseum, BMO Stadium, the California Science Center and Natural History Museum.



It appears Urias was among the celebrities in attendance at Sunday's LAFC game against Inter Miami.



The 27-year-old was booked into an LAPD jail facility and was later released on $50,000 bond.



Additional details about the arrest, which comes just days after his last start for the Dodgers, were not available.



The Dodgers issued the following statement: "We are aware of an incident involving Julio Urías. 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."



In 2019, Urias was suspended 20 games for violating Major League Baseball's domestic violence policy. He was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor domestic battery in connection with a May 13 incident at the Beverly Center, allegedly involving shoving a woman to the ground during an argument. No charges were filed but the league issued a suspension.



Urias is 11-8 this season with a 4.60 earned-run average.



He began his MLB career with the Dodgers in 2016, and has a lifetime record of 60-25 with a 3.11 ERA.
