Should he hope to resume his career, Urías would likely face a significant suspension from Major League Baseball under its joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Policy. MLB confirmed that its investigation into the matter is continuing. Past investigations typically do not conclude until pending legal matters are resolved.

Urías served a 20-game suspension from MLB in 2019, after his arrest in May that year on a charge of domestic battery after an altercation with his girlfriend in the parking structure of a Los Angeles mall. He wasn't prosecuted by the Los Angeles city attorney on the condition he complete a 52-week domestic violence counseling program. No player has been suspended twice under MLB’s joint domestic violence policy.

TMZ first reported that Urías was charged with the misdemeanors.
