Dodgers pitcher Julio Urias has been reinstated by MLB after an arrest stemming from an alleged domestic violence incident with a woman May 13, the team confirmed Tuesday afternoon.
Urias was placed on seven-day administrative leave after his arrest and MLB declined to extend his absence as the pitcher reportedly would not have consented to it.
To make room for Urias on their roster, the Dodgers optioned outfielder Kyle Garlick was to Triple-A Oklahoma City.
The incident in which witnesses said Urias shoved a woman later identified as his girlfriend was reportedly caught on tape at a mall in Los Angeles, but MLB was unable to obtain a copy of the footage because officials declined to release it, according to ESPN.
Police were called after the incident, but both Urias and the woman allegedly said no physical altercation took place. However, witnesses told TMZ that Urias pushed the woman.
Urias was arrested and taken to a nearby police station, where he was charged with one count of misdemeanor domestic battery and later released on a $20,000 bond. He is set to appear in court June 4.
The Dodgers released a statement at the time of the arrest acknowledging the team was aware of the incident and gathering facts, while manager Dave Roberts skirted around the issue.
Several players have been suspended for such incidents including Astros reliever Roberto Osuna, who was with the Blue Jays at the time, and Cubs shortstop Addison Russell, who was recently reinstated.
MLB has declined to give suspensions to Reds outfielder Yasiel Puig and Twins infielder Miguel Sano following investigations into their alleged incidents.
Urias, 22, was once MLB's top left-handed pitching prospect and made his debut with the Dodgers at 19 years old.
He has appeared in nine games (four starts) this season and is 2-2 with a 3.18 ERA (10 ER/28 1/3 IP) with 32 strikeouts.
He recorded his first career save May 6 against the Braves and is 2-for-2 in save chances. In his four-year MLB career, he is a combined 7-6 with a 3.60 ERA (53 ER/132.2 IP) in 35 games (24 starts).
