What went wrong for free agent Julio Urías? The domestic violence case that derailed his MLB career
Julio Urías, once considered to be a promising young player in the MLB, has his entire career in limbo after he was suspended through the end of the 2025 All-Star break back in March 2025.
Julio Urías had shown the world his talent and had proved his worth on the field, despite having a massive injury to his left eye in 2015. While Julio Urías has been sentenced to 36 months of probation, here is everything that the star player was accused of.
What happened in 2023 that changed Julio Urías' promising career in the MLB? The domestic abuse that had an eyewitness
Back in 2023, Julio Urías had attended a LAFC soccer match, but things quickly went downhill after an eyewitness accused the star player of assaulting a woman outside the stadium.

Julio Urías was immediately arrested by the authorities on suspiscion of felony domestic violence. Three days later, the MLB placed Julio Urías on administrative leave and since then, the free agent has not played a professional game in the league.
Later, Julio Urías was charged by the Los Angeles City Attorney with 5 misdemeanour counts including assault, spousal battery, two counts of domestic battery and one for false imprisonment.
What is Julio Urías doing now and how did MLB react to the whole situation regarding their star player?
At this point in time, Julio Urías is serving 36 months of probation, has to complete 52 weeks of counseling course on domestic abuse and 30 days of community service.
In March 2025, Julio Urías was promptly removed from the 2025 All-Star break for violating MLB's policies related to the incident.
Commissioner Rob Manfred issued a statement on Julio Urías' situation in the league and said, 'The Office of the Commissioner of Baseball has completed its investigation into allegations that free agent pitcher Julio Urías violated Major League Baseball's Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Policy. Having reviewed all of the available evidence, I have concluded that Mr. Urías violated our Policy and that discipline is appropriate.
'
In early 2023, before all the mess, Julio Urías had signed a pretty expensive deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The deal was worth a whopping $14.25 million for a year.

Devendra Budhia Sent to Two-Day Police Remand After One Month; Police to Recover Mobile Phone and Identify Crime Scene.
Hisar: Devendra Budhia, 58, former president of the All-India Bishnoi Mahasabha and a controversial figure in Haryana politics, was taken into two-day police custody on Monday in connection with a rape case involving a 20-year-old woman from the Bishnoi community. The Hisar court granted the remand on a production warrant based on a petition from Bhiwani's crime branch. Budhia is accused of repeated sexual assault in Chandigarh and Jaipur. Police allege he used his influence under the pretext of helping the woman with IELTS coaching for a planned move to Australia. The state crime bureau arrested him in Jodhpur on June 29, after which he moved into judicial custody initially. The police remand will allow cops to recover the mobile phone that was used allegedly in the crime and to conduct crime scene identification. The district court, Punjab and Haryana high court, as well as the Supreme Court had rejected Budhia's earlier pleas for anticipatory bail. The FIR (first-information report), which Hisar police had filed on Jan 25, suggests that Budhia lured the woman with false promises of academic support, took her to different cities, and raped her repeatedly. She also alleged that he issued death threats to silence her. Legal twist: Remand under new law An earlier attempt by police to seek Budhia's remand on July 14 was rejected by the judicial magistrate, citing procedural limits under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), which do not allow police remand after 15 days of judicial custody. However, the police challenged that decision successfully, arguing that since the FIR was registered after July 1, 2024, the case falls under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), which replaced key sections of the CrPC. The district court accepted the argument and approved the two-day custody. Budhia, who has been embroiled in past political clashes with former MP Kuldeep Bishnoi of the BJP, now faces serious criminal allegations that may test the implementation of India's newly enacted criminal justice code. Police say further action will follow pending forensic and electronic evidence recovery. Caption: Police escorting Devendra Budhia on Monday after securing his custody in Hisar for two days.
