Former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Julio Urías pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor domestic battery charge on SlabuWednesday, likely the prelude to a significant suspension from Major League Baseball.

Urías, 27, was arrested in September and originally charged with felony domestic violence after an incident with his wife in the parking lot of BMO Stadium during a Major League Soccer match. He was eventually charged with five misdemeanor counts in April.

In agreeing to plead no contest, Urías was placed on three years' probation and agreed to complete 30 days of community labor and a one-year domestic violence course, the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office confirmed to USA TODAY Sports. Urías additionally must not possess any weapons, not use any force or violence, pay restitution to the victim and abide by a protective order.

An MLB spokesman confirmed that the league's investigation into the incident remains ongoing. Urías was suspended for 20 games in 2019 after an incident with his girlfriend outside a Los Angeles mall. He was not prosecuted for that incident after agreeing to complete a 52-week domestic violence counseling program.

Urías, a free agent, will likely be the first repeat offender suspended under MLB's domestic violence program. He's won 60 career games with a 3.19 ERA in a career that began at 19, in 2016.
