The inevitable was confirmed for Julio Urías. Major League Baseball has placed the Dodgers’ Mexican pitcher on administrative leave. It is the second time in the career of the left-handed man from Culiacán that he has been involved in a domestic violence scandal, and therefore under this “status” while the case is being investigated.
For those who are not informed about what this license is and what its implications are in relation to the Mexican’s labor contract with the Dodgers, here we explain it below:

This means the administrative license of the Major Leagues
The administrative license is stipulated in the Agreement or Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) of the Major Leagues as a list in which the player is separated from his team while an investigation related to the anti-violence policy is carried out (in this case domestic ) established in Major League Baseball (MLB).
The placement on said list is made once the league and the Major League Baseball Players Association or MLB (MLBPA) have agreed to approve that the baseball player be removed from the roster of 40 of their organization. .
During the time that the player is on this license, he will continue to receive his corresponding payment and his time of service will be counted until the league completes said investigation. The duration time within that state may be extended (indefinitely) as deemed by Major League Baseball. In the particular case of Urías, Major League Baseball determined that his stay in that state will be, in effect, “until further notice”, until the investigation of him is completed.
The administrative license is a variant (not to be confused) of the restricted list, with the big difference that it was MLB who placed him there, and not his team (in this case the Dodgers).
Therefore, the shortlist functions as a kind of ‘limbo’ in which the player remains with the squad, but not as an active player on the roster. The purpose of placing a player in this locker relates to an unusual or unexcused absence.
It is important to note that it does not imply, as is, a punishment for the player, in accordance with the Collective Agreement. It is simply a tool that allows Las Mayores to carry out its investigation for as long as necessary and for those involved to receive their salary until the situation is clarified.
Also in this case, the team has the power to pay or not the player’s salary during his stay on the restricted list.
In the specific case, for Julio Urías of the Dodgers it is the second time that he ends up being placed on “administrative leave.” He previously was in this status in May 2019, while Major League Baseball conducted an investigation that ended with a 20-game suspension for the Culiacán, Sinaloa-born. On this occasion, he probably won’t have the same luck as the first time, especially considering MLB’s history of low tolerance.
