Urias was placed on administrative leave indefinitely by MLB after his arrest outside BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, where he attended a Major League Soccer game. Police were first alerted by a citizen who reported that a man and woman were in a physical altercation. Urias was arrested by Department of Public Safety officers on felony suspicion of domestic violence.

According to a charge evaluation worksheet from the district attorney’s office, Urias was arguing with his wife when he "pushed (her) against a fence and pulled her by the hair or shoulders."

However, the document said, "Neither the Victim’s injuries nor the Defendant’s criminal history justify a felony filing."

Urias was suspended 20 games in 2019 after he was arrested on suspicion of domestic battery, although he was not charged.
