    Urías posted $50,000 bail and was released early Monday. He is due in court on Sept. 27.

    DPS is handling the investigation and is asking for any other witnesses with information to contact it.

    Urías was placed on administrative leave indefinitely by Major League Baseball on Wednesday.

    The leave was imposed under baseball’s joint domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse policy adopted by MLB and the players’ association in 2015 and can be the first step toward a suspension. Players are paid but cannot play while on leave.

    MLB and the union agreed to the leave, which did not specify a length. Absent an agreement, MLB could have imposed a leave of up to seven days with the possibility of a seven-day extension.

    Urías, a 27-year-old pitcher, was arrested in May 2019 for domestic battery. He was suspended 20 games by MLB, but 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.
