Major League Baseball has placed Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Julio Urias on administrative leave after he was arrested under suspicion of domestic battery. The Dodgers have no comment at this time. MLB will investigate and has the potential to extend the leave of Urias at the end of the current collective bargaining agreement(CBA), which will end in 7 days. Addison Russell was the most recent person before Urias who was placed on leave by the MLB after a blog post by his ex-wife surfaced, detailing abuse during their marriage.
