Former Los Angeles Dodgers star Julio Urias can be seen angrily running after his wife and pushing her against a fence in shocking footage from their September 2023 domestic violence incident released by the California Highway Patrol.
Urias, 28, faced five misdemeanor charges for the alleged physical confrontation with his wife Daisy Perez at a soccer game after being arrested at the scene and charged with felony domestic violence last year.
Previous reports claimed that Perez became angry with him for taking photos with female fans at the Major League Soccer match between Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami and LAFC at BMO Stadium.
DPS officers were patrolling outside the stadium after the soccer game in which Messi played in front of numerous celebrities, including Prince Harry, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ed Norton, Jason Sudeikis, Owen Wilson and Mario Lopez, as well as LAFC owners Will Ferrell and Magic Johnson.
Urias faced five misdemeanor charges after posting $50,000 bail, four of which were waived. He also pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of domestic violence in May of this year.

In addition to the misdemeanor domestic battery charge, Urias also faced one count of spousal battery, one count of domestic battery involving a dating relationship, one count of false imprisonment and one count of assault.
Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office spokesman Ivor Pine said he was sentenced to 36 months of summary probation and ordered to complete 30 days of community service.
He was also ordered to complete a 52-week domestic violence counseling course, pay a fee to the domestic violence fund, possess no weapons, use no force or violence, pay restitution to the victim and comply with a protective order.
Urias has not played in MLB since the arrest and is awaiting his fate as a free agent while the league continues to investigate the matter.
The left-handed pitcher faced five misdemeanor charges, four of which were dropped.
Urias and his wife Daisy Perez are believed to have been together for the past three years.
They reportedly had an argument after Perez became enraged because he took photos with other girls.

He became a free agent after the 2023 World Series after MLB placed him on indefinite administrative leave following his arrest. Urias spent the first eight years of his career with the Dodgers.
The leave was imposed under baseball’s joint policy on domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse with the players’ association and could be the first step toward a suspension. Players are paid but cannot play while on leave.
Even without a criminal conviction, MLB could suspend the left-hander if it concludes he violated the policy.
Urias was also arrested in May 2019 on suspicion of domestic violence. MLB suspended him for 20 games, but the Los Angeles city attorney did not prosecute him on the condition that he complete a 52-week domestic violence counseling program. No player has ever been suspended twice under MLB’s domestic violence policy.
