The situation of Mexican pitcher Julio Urías still remains a mystery after being removed from the roster due to a domestic violence case.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have secured a new pennant, but Mexican pitcher Julio Urías, one of the club’s key assets in recent times, still does not know his future.
Mexican pitcher Julio Urías will not be available to help in the attempt to halt the Atlanta Braves’ relentless advance as the National League representative in the World Series.
Some experts estimate that he may never wear the only jersey he has worn throughout his professional career again.
Urías is currently on administrative leave while facing allegations of domestic violence from Los Angeles authorities.
Furthermore, Mexican pitcher Julio Urías is also under investigation by MLB’s commissioner’s office.
This commission aims to determine whether the player violated Major League Baseball’s internal policies.

Due to his history of domestic violence and the fact that he will become a free agent in November, Julio Urías’s future in Major League Baseball is uncertain.
Recall that on Sunday, September 3rd, Mexican pitcher Julio Urías was arrested by the Los Angeles police on charges of domestic violence and was released after posting bail of $50,000.
The police stated that Urías was arrested for a violation of Penal Code 273.5, which relates to corporal injury to a spouse or cohabitant.
Corporal injury to a spouse requires that the injuries be intentionally caused by physical force and is a felony.
Additionally, the Deputy Director of the Department of Public Safety, Chris Carr, told ESPN’s Paula Lavigne that a witness captured the incident on a cell phone video, which is now in the possession of authorities.
Let’s not forget that Mexican pitcher Julio Urías was also on administrative leave in 2019 following an arrest for alleged domestic assault.
Although he was not charged after the victim decided not to proceed against him, Urías was required to complete a one-year domestic violence counseling program, and MLB suspended him for 20 games.
Finally, Urías has a court date scheduled for September 27th, and whatever happens there will determine his immediate legal future, but only in the legal aspect.
MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred will decide whether the pitcher deserves a sanction and the extent of it, primarily based on the league’s investigation.
If found guilty, Urías could face a significant penalty as a repeat offender.
The Los Angeles organization, where he has played since the age of 16, has already indicated its decision to move forward without Urías, as they cleaned out his locker in the clubhouse and made space for second baseman Kolten Wong.
In the best-case scenario, if Urías is cleared of charges in Los Angeles and MLB’s punishment, even if he finds employment, it will certainly not be under the same conditions as before.
On the other hand, a suspension could force Urías to follow in the footsteps of his compatriot Roberto Osuna (Fukuoka Softbank Hawks) and his former teammate Bauer (Yokohama Bay Stars), who had to sell their considerable talent in the Far East.
