Los Angeles Dodgers general manager Andrew Friedman said Julio Urías‘ arrest on felony domestic violence charges was “extremely disappointing” and noted that the organization is considering multiple options for its pitching staff in light of the left-hander’s uncertain future.

Friedman and manager Dave Roberts both addressed reporters Tuesday in the Dodgers’ most extensive commentary since Urías was arrested late Sunday in Los Angeles. It marked the second domestic violence arrest in the past four years for Urías, who is not with the Dodgers on their six-game road trip.

“Obviously, extremely disappointing development,” Friedman said. “For us right now, it’s having him and his representatives resolve this while we’re focused on both the near and long term.”

Roberts said he was “shocked” when he was informed of Urías’ arrest.

“I was shocked — everyone was,” Roberts said before the Dodgers’ loss Tuesday to the Miami Marlins. “It is just an extremely unfortunate circumstance for everyone.”

Major League Baseball has opened an investigation into Urías’ arrest, and the eight-year veteran is expected to be placed on administrative leave before his next scheduled start on Thursday.

Urías, 27, also was arrested on suspicion of domestic battery in May 2019 and was suspended 20 games by MLB, but he wasn’t prosecuted by the Los Angeles city attorney on the condition he complete a 52-week domestic violence counseling program. No player has been suspended twice under MLB’s joint domestic violence policy since it was established in 2015.

Neither Friedman nor Roberts would comment Tuesday when asked whether they anticipated Urías returning to the Dodgers this season. Urías, who posted $50,000 bail and was released early Monday morning, is due in court Sept. 27.

“We don’t know anything more today than we knew yesterday,” Friedman said, according to The Athletic. “Our guys are pros. Obviously, they’re concerned about the situation. … But they’re also pros and they’re focused on going out tonight and winning a baseball game. That doesn’t mean they’re not concerned but they’re able to shift their focus and lock in on the task at hand.”

“For us, now it’s day to day,” Roberts said. “I don’t want to get too far ahead of things. As time’s gone on with certain things, you learn that simplifying, day to day, is the best way to handle it.”

The Dodgers (84-53) enter Wednesday with a 14-game lead atop the National League West and are close to clinching their 11th consecutive postseason appearance. The loss of Urías, who has a 3.68 ERA in 23 career postseason appearances, would leave the Dodgers with a relatively thin rotation after veterans Clayton Kershaw and Lance Lynn.

“There are still so many unknowns that we haven’t wrapped our arms around that yet,” Friedman said. “We feel like we’re going to have a lot of talent on our pitching staff in October. We might not know exactly who the 13 are going to be right now, but we feel very confident that we will be bringing some big-boy stuff to the table.”

Injured starters Tony Gonsolin and Dustin May are out for the remainder of the season for the Dodgers, who hope to have Walker Buehler back on their pitching staff before the end of the season.

The two-time All-Star right-hander is expected to make a minor league rehab start Friday as he continues his return from Tommy John surgery, but Roberts said that Urias’ situation would have “no bearing on [Buehler’s] progression.”

Dodgers rookies Bobby Miller, Emmet Sheehan and Ryan Pepiot all have flashed potential as starting pitchers this season and could end up as part of their postseason rotation. Sheehan, who is still on Los Angeles’ roster, and Pepiot, who was optioned to the minors last week, are candidates to fill Urías’ rotation spot for Thursday’s series finale in Miami.

“We’ll address it, if it gets to that point,” Roberts said. “But we do have a lot of viable options in-house, guys that have experience and have performed. I don’t want to go too far down that road, but we’ve still got a lot of good players if it gets to that point.”

A Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department spokesperson said Tuesday that Urías was arrested on a felony charge of corporal injury on a spouse or cohabitant. The arrest took place in Exposition Park, south of downtown Los Angeles. The park is home to BMO Stadium, where Lionel Messi and Inter Miami were playing in an MLS game with numerous celebrities in attendance.

Corporal injury on a spouse requires a bodily injury being willfully caused by physical force.

Urías is 11-8 with a 4.60 ERA in 21 starts this season and is set to become a free agent after the World Series. He is pitching on a $14.25 million, one-year contract in his final season of salary arbitration eligibility.

Missouri’s Norfleet (shoulder) ruled out vs. A&M

Missouri's Norfleet (shoulder) ruled out vs. A&M

No. 22 Missouri will be without star tight end Brett Norfleet (shoulder) when the Tigers host undefeated No. 3 Texas A&M on Saturday in Columbia.

Norfleet, a junior from O’Fallon, Missouri, has started in each of the Tigers’ eight games this fall and enters Week 11 leading all SEC tight ends with five touchdown receptions. His 26 catches on the season rank third-most among Missouri pass catchers, trailing only wide receivers Kevin Coleman Jr. and Marquis Johnson.

Tigers coach Eli Drinkwitz told reporters that Norflett sustained a separated shoulder in Missouri’s 17-10 loss at Vanderbilt on Oct. 25. Drinkwitz later described Norfleet as “day-to-day” during the Tigers’ bye in Week 10, and the veteran tight end was listed as questionable in Missouri’s student-athlete availability report Thursday night.

Norfleet’s absence comes with Drinkwitz and the two-loss Tigers essentially facing a playoff elimination game against the Aggies on Saturday. Missouri will also be without starting quarterback Beau Pribula in Week 11 after the Penn State transfer dislocated his ankle at Vanderbilt. Freshman Matt Zollers, ESPN’s No. 6 pocket passer in the 2025 class, is set to make his first career start Saturday, facing Texas A&M coach Mike Elko and an Aggies defense that ranks 18th nationally in defensive pressures (137), per ESPN Research.

“For our team, it’s really about us focusing on helping Matt execute at the highest level possible,” Drinkwitz said this week. “We’re excited about Matt’s opportunity and what he’s earned. He has done a really good job in practice of leadership, stepping up, embracing the moment, embracing the opportunity.”

Missouri (6-2) kicks off against Texas A&M at 3:30 p.m. ET on ABC.

UK's Calzada sorry for video flaunting NIL money

Kentucky quarterback Zach Calzada apologized Friday for sending a video to someone on social media in which he boasted about the amount of NIL money he has received from the Wildcats this season.

The video, which was posted to X by a different person, showed Calzada counting a large stack of $100 bills.

Calzada, who turns 25 on Saturday, said he sent the video to someone who had apparently criticized his play this season.

In the video, Calzada tells the fan, “Hey, what you need to do, Garrett, is your ass needs to stop hatin’ and go get you some money. But since you ain’t got nothing, you go ahead and you can count mine.”

“Let’s count,” Calzada said, as he fanned the $100 bills.

“Don’t lose count, Garrett,” Calzada continued. “Straight hundreds.”

A Kentucky spokesman told the Lexington Herald-Leader on Friday, “Zach has taken responsibility for his actions. He has done the right thing and apologized. Now, it’s time to move forward.”

Calzada, who is playing his seventh season of college football, started the first two games for the Wildcats in 2025. He was ineffective, completing 47.2% of his attempts for 234 yards with no touchdowns and one interception.

Calzada injured his throwing shoulder in the fourth quarter of a 30-23 loss to Ole Miss on Sept. 6.

Freshman Cutter Boley took over and has started the past six games, throwing for 1,376 yards with 10 touchdowns and 7 interceptions.

Calzada, from Buford, Georgia, started his career at Texas A&M in 2019. His best season came in 2021, when he replaced injured Haynes King and went 6-4 as the starter. He completed 21 of 31 passes for 285 yards with 3 touchdowns and 1 interception in the Aggies’ 41-38 upset of then-No. 1 Alabama on Oct. 9, 2021.

Calzada transferred to Auburn in 2022 but never played in a game after undergoing surgery on his non-throwing shoulder.

He spent the past two seasons at FCS program Incarnate Word, where he was named the Southland Conference Newcomer of the Year in 2024 and Player of the Year last season, when he threw for 3,744 yards with 35 touchdowns and 9 interceptions.

The Wildcats (3-5, 1-5 SEC) host Florida (3-5, 2-3 SEC) on Saturday (7:30 p.m. ET, SEC Network).
