Shocking footage of his September 2023 domestic violence incident, released by the California Highway Patrol, shows former Los Angeles Dodgers star Julio Urias angrily running after his wife and pushing her against a fence.
Urias, 28, was arrested on the scene last year and convicted of domestic violence, charging him with five misdemeanors after allegedly getting into a physical altercation with his wife, Daisy Perez, during a soccer game.
According to previous reports, Perez was angry at him for taking pictures with female fans during the Major League Soccer match between Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami and LAFC at BMO Stadium.
DPS officers patrolled outside the stadium after the soccer match Messi participated in, in the presence of numerous celebrities, including Prince Harry, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ed Norton, Jason Sudeikis, Owen Wilson and Mario Lopez, as well as LAFC owners Will Ferrell and Magic Johnson.
Urias faced five felony charges after posting $50,000 bail, four of which were revoked. He also pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor domestic violence charge in May of this year.

He became a free agent after the 2023 World Series after being placed on indefinite administrative leave by MLB following his arrest. Urias spent the first eight years of his career with the Dodgers.
The leave was imposed under baseball’s joint policy on domestic violence, sexual abuse and child abuse with the players’ association and could be the first step toward suspension. Players will be paid but will not be able to play during the leave.
Even without a criminal conviction, MLB can suspend the left-handed player if he is found to have violated policy.
Urias was also arrested in May 2019 on suspicion of domestic violence. He was suspended by MLB for 20 games, but was not prosecuted by the L.A. city attorney on the condition that he complete a 52-week domestic violence program. No player has been suspended twice under MLB’s domestic violence policy.
