The left-hander was placed on administrative leave by the Dodgers in September 2023, and became a free agent after the conclusion of the season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_jd7dzubvo\">Ur\u00edas has not signed with a team since his departure from the Dodgers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_6kxcgyk5j\">On Sept. 3, 2023 Ur\u00edas was arrested on suspicion of domestic battery and released on bail. In May 2024, he plead no contest to a misdemeanor domestic battery charge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_5o4jae0ub\">Ur\u00edas was previously suspended in 2019.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_qdrgucsxz\">The left-hander spent eight seasons with L.A., and won a World Series during his Dodgers tenure in 2020.
