**NEW YORK, March 21, 2025** – Major League Baseball (MLB) Commissioner Rob Manfred announced today that free agent pitcher Julio Urías has been suspended until July 17th, 2025 – the day after the All-Star break.

Commissioner Manfred stated in a league release that after reviewing all available evidence, he concluded Urías violated the policy and that disciplinary action was warranted. This marks the second suspension Urías has received for violating this policy, making him the first player in MLB history to face such a penalty.
The statement did not provide further details regarding the specifics of the violation. The comments section on the original announcement has since been closed.
