Twins and Royals play with series tied 1-1

The Minnesota Twins and Kansas City Royals play on Sunday with the winner claiming the three-game series

AUGUST 10, 2025 • Associated Press

Set to start Sunday Urena will start Sunday against Kansas City, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Impact Urena started last week at Cleveland and gave up two runs over four innings. He hasn't thrown more than 4.1 innings in any appearance this season, so he'll likely be more of an opener than true starter.

Set to start Sunday Urena is slated to start Sunday against the Royals at Target Field, Phil Miller of the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Impact Urena will make a second straight turn through the rotation after he started last Sunday versus Cleveland and gave up two runs over four innings. The right-hander could have a longer leash versus Kansas City, but his poor ratios on the season (5.24 ERA, 1.52 WHIP, 7.1 K-BB%) over stops with four different teams render him a poor streaming option.

Impact Urena was a late replacement for Simeon Woods Richardson, who had his start pushed back due to an illness.

Starting Sunday Urena will start Sunday's game against Cleveland, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Impact The 33-year-old righty will be filling in for Simeon Woods Richardson, whom the Twins will give a few extra days of rest before his next start. Urena has pitched to a 5.40 ERA and 1.53 WHIP across 18.1 innings between the Dodgers, Mets and Blue Jays this season, and he'll likely aim to get through three or four frames Sunday before handing the game to Minnesota's bullpen.

Added to 40-man roster The Twins selected Urena's contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday.

Impact Following the Twins' fire sale at the trade deadline, Urena will head to the majors and give the team an arm capable of starting or pitching in long relief. The Twins will be Urena's fourth team this season after he pitched with the Mets, Dodgers and Blue Jays already in 2025, logging a 5.40 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 10:5 K:BB across 18.1 innings.

Joins Twins on MiLB deal Urena signed a minor-league contract with the Twins on Tuesday.

Impact The Twins mark the fourth organization Urena has signed with this season after previously spending time with the Mets, Blue Jays and Dodgers. The 33-year-old owns a 5.40 ERA and 1.53 WHIP across 18.1 innings between the three clubs, and he'll begin his time with the Twins at Triple-A St. Paul.

Enters open market Urena cleared waivers Friday and elected free agency.

Impact The Dodgers designated Urena for assignment Tuesday to clear roster room for Matt Sauer. The 33-year-old Urena gave up one earned run in three innings during his time with the Dodgers but still owns a 5.40 ERA and 1.53 WHIP across 18.1 frames on the season. His next opportunity is likely to come in the form of a minor-league contract.

Booted from 40-man roster The Dodgers designated Urena for assignment Tuesday.

Impact Urena allowed one run over three innings covering two appearances during his brief time in a Dodgers uniform. He's clearing out to make room on the roster for Matt Sauer, who has been recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City and who is expected to start Tuesday's contest in San Diego.

JUNE 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Set to lose 40-man roster spot Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said after Monday's game in San Diego that Urena will be designated for assignment prior to Tuesday's contest, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Urena made two appearances after signing on with the Dodgers, allowing one run over three innings of work. The veteran right-hander has already pitched for three different clubs this season and could draw interest from a fourth looking for swingman depth.

Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow is optimistic about recovery from shoulder injury

Dodgers RHP Tyler Glasnow is feeling optimistic about his recovery from a shoulder injury that has sidelined him since late April.

Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow is optimistic about recovery from shoulder injury

Joins Dodgers on MLB deal Urena signed a one-year, major-league contract with the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Impact Urena was DFA'd by Toronto on Saturday after turning in a 3.65 ERA and 1.22 WHIP in 12.1 innings with the team. He opted for free agency upon clearing waivers and will now join forces with Los Angeles to help out a Dodgers bullpen that has been decimated by injuries. Will Klein was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move, and Chuckie Robinson was designated for assignment to clear a 40-man spot for Urena.

JUNE 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Signing with Dodgers The Dodgers are expected to sign Urena prior to Tuesday's game against the Mets, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Impact The deal isn't official, but Heyman says Urena is on his way to Los Angeles and will be in uniform for the second game of a four-game series versus the Mets. Urena has allowed 10 runs with an 8:4 K:BB over 15.1 innings between the Blue Jays and Mets this season and will give the Dodgers some length in the bullpen.

JUNE 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Becomes free agent Urena elected to become a free agent Monday, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

Impact Urena went unclaimed on waivers after the Blue Jays removed him from their 40-man roster, and the veteran hurler has decided to test out free agency rather than accept an outright assignment to the minors. He's allowed 10 runs with an 8:4 K:BB over 15.1 innings between the Blue Jays and Mets this season.

JUNE 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Designated for assignment The Blue Jays designated Urena for assignment Saturday.

Impact Urena has surrendered five earned runs in 12.1 innings since joining the Blue Jays on May 3. Despite his improved performance after a rough start with the Mets, he'll now be pushed off the 26-man and 40-man rosters to make room for Easton Lucas, who was recalled to Toronto in a corresponding move. Urena owns a 4.78 ERA and 1.40 WHIP across his MLB career, but his recent run with the Jays may capture the attention of other teams in need of pitching help.

MAY 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Used in mop-up duty Wednesday Urena gave up two hits and struck out one in two scoreless innings of relief Wednesday during a 14-0 win over the Padres.

Impact The right-hander threw 35 pitches (24 strikes), which could leave him unavailable to provide any length out of the bullpen when Eric Lauer makes his next scheduled start Friday in Tampa Bay. Urena has a 4.82 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 3:3 K:BB in 9.1 innings over four appearances (two starts) since joining the Blue Jays, but he seems unlikely to be a factor in the team's rotation any time soon given his current usage.
