Major League Baseball has placed Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Julio Urias on administrative leave, three days after police arrested him on suspicion of felony domestic violence.
The leave was imposed under baseball\'s joint domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse policy adopted in 2015 and can be the first step toward a suspension.
Players are paid but cannot play while on leave; Urias is playing this season on a one-year, $14.25 million deal in his final season of salary arbitration eligibility.
