Julio Urías, a World Series champion with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2020 and a former NL wins and ERA leader, was suspended through this year's All-Star break for violating MLB's domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse policy, Commissioner Rob Manfred announced Friday.

Urías' agent, Scott Boras, said the pitcher was not releasing any statements.

The 28-year-old left-handed pitcher has not played since Sept. 1, 2023.
