MLB places Dodgers' Julio Urias on administrative leave
The leave was imposed under baseball's joint domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse policy adopted by MLB and the players' union in 2015 and can be the first step toward a suspension. Players are paid but cannot play while on leave. Urías entered 2023 as the Dodgers' ace, coming off a season in which he led the National League with a 2.16 ERA and finished third in NL Cy Young voting.
