They were contacted by someone, whose name was not publicly identified, regarding a physical altercation between a man and a woman.

Urías posted $50,000 bail and was released hours later. He was then placed on indefinite administrative leave by Major League Baseball and was unavailable for the 2023 postseason.

The leave was imposed under baseball’s joint domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse policy adopted by MLB and the players’ association in 2015 and can be the first step toward a suspension. Players are paid but cannot play while on leave.

MLB and the union agreed to the leave, which did not specify a length. Absent an agreement, MLB could have imposed a leave of up to seven days with the possibility of a seven-day extension.

Urías, a 27-year-old Mexican-born pitcher, was previously arrested in May 2019 for domestic battery.

He was suspended 20 games by MLB, but he wasn’t prosecuted by the Los Angeles city attorney on the condition he complete a 52-week domestic violence counseling program. No player has been suspended twice under MLB’s joint domestic violence policy.

Urías is the second star player on a contending team placed on administrative leave by MLB in 2023 after Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco, who is being investigated by authorities in the Dominican Republic for an alleged relationship with a minor.
