On Thursday, July 2nd, Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Julio Urías was arrested near Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California. The arrest occurred during a Major League Soccer (MLS) match featuring Lionel Messi, the world-renowned soccer star.
According to reports, Urías was arrested by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) at approximately 8:30 p.m. local time. The LAPD has not released any details regarding the arrest, but they have confirmed that Urías was taken into custody without incident.
The Dodgers released a statement following the arrest, saying they are aware of the situation and are gathering information. They also stated that they take such matters very seriously and are in communication with Major League Baseball and local authorities.
Urías is a 24-year-old left-handed pitcher who has been with the Dodgers since 2016. He has been a key part of the team’s success over the past few years, and is currently in the midst of a career-best season. He has a 3.18 ERA and 1.14 WHIP in 11 starts this season.
The arrest of Urías is certainly a surprise, as he has been a model citizen throughout his career. He is well-respected in the Dodgers’ clubhouse and is considered to be a leader on the team.
It remains to be seen what the consequences of this arrest will be for Urías and the Dodgers. The team will likely wait until more information is available before making any decisions on his future with the team.
In the meantime, all eyes will be on Urías to see how he responds to this situation. It’s certainly a difficult time for him and the Dodgers, but hopefully they can move past this incident and continue to have success on the field.
