Urías’ latest legal troubles follow a 2019 arrest on suspicion of domestic battery for which he was not charged, but that incident led to a 20-game MLB suspension, the report said.

ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports that “Players charged with domestic violence typically are placed on administrative leave by the league during an investigation, as Urías was prior to his suspension in 2019. Urías' court date is during the final week of the regular season.”

Urías has been among baseball’s most consistent starting pitchers in recent years. He placed third in last year’s Cy Young award ballot after posting a 2.16 ERA. Urías is 11-8 with a 4.60 ERA this season.
