Urias was placed on administrative leave indefinitely by Major League Baseball on Wednesday

The leave was imposed under baseball’s Joint Policy on Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse adopted by MLB and the players’ association in 2015 and could be the first step toward a suspension. Players are paid, but cannot play while on leave.

MLB and the union agreed to the furloughs, which did not specify a duration. Without an agreement, MLB could have imposed a furlough of up to seven days, with the possibility of a seven-day extension.

Urias, a 27-year-old Mexican-born pitcher, was arrested in May 2019 for domestic battery. He was suspended 20 games by MLB, but was not prosecuted by the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office on the condition that he complete a 52-week domestic violence counseling program. No player has been suspended twice under MLB’s joint domestic violence policy.

Uria is the second star player on a contending team to be placed on administrative leave by MLB in recent weeks, following Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco, who is being investigated by authorities in the Dominican Republic for an alleged relationship with a minor .
