Limited usage in second start Urena allowed one run on two hits and a walk while failing to record a strikeout over two-plus innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Sunday.

Impact Urena was making his second start with the Blue Jays after giving up two runs over 4.1 innings to the Angels on Tuesday. He made it just once through the Mariners' lineup Sunday, which looks like it may have been planned -- he threw 31 pitches (19 strikes) in this outing compared to 74 pitches Tuesday. The Blue Jays have yet to reveal their pitching plans for the week ahead, but it's possible Urena could be shifting into an opener or piggyback role rather than functioning as a traditional starter.

Confirmed for another start Urena will start Sunday against the Mariners, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Urena signed with the Blue Jays on Saturday and made a start for the team five days later. He'll stick in the rotation for now and could realistically be relied upon until Max Scherzer (thumb) can return. Urena has allowed seven earned runs across 7.1 innings and two appearances this season.

Goes 4.1 innings in first start Urena allowed two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out two over 4.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Angels on Tuesday.

Impact Urena did fine, throwing 52 of 74 pitches for strikes in his Blue Jays debut. The right-hander has started experience but has rarely been able to maintain a full-time gig in any team's rotation. He's allowed seven runs with a 5:2 K:BB over 7.1 innings between the Mets and the Blue Jays this season. Should Urena stick in the rotation for another start, he is tentatively scheduled for a road outing in Seattle this weekend.

Drawing start for Blue Jays Urena will be the Blue Jays' starting pitcher in Tuesday's game against the Angels, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Impact Urena was officially signed to a major-league contract Monday and will go directly into the Blue Jays' rotation, at least for one turn. The right-hander was roughed up for five runs over three innings in a long relief appearance for the Mets last month but had a solid 2024 season with the Rangers as a swingman, collecting a 3.80 ERA and 70:39 K:BB over 109 frames.

Blue Jays sign pitchers Spencer Turnbull, Jose Urena to 1-year deals

The Toronto Blue Jays signed right-handed pitchers Spencer Turnbull and Jose Ureña to one-year contracts

MAY 5, 2025 • Associated Press

Nets MLB deal from Toronto Urena signed a major-league contract with the Blue Jays on Saturday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Impact Urena elected to become a free agent Thursday after being DFA'd by the Mets, and it didn't take long for him to find a new home north of the border. The 33-year-old righty owns a 4.10 ERA and 1.36 WHIP in 112 innings since 2024 and has worked primarily as a reliever during that span. He'll be joined on the Blue Jays' pitching staff by Spencer Turnbull, who also signed a big-league deal with the team Saturday.

MAY 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Enters open market Urena cleared waivers Thursday and elected to become a free agent, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact Urena was designated for assignment after giving up five runs during his three-inning save against the Nationals on Monday. He'll now seek out another opportunity in free agency rather than returning to Triple-A Syracuse, though he isn't likely to attract more than a minor-league contract after turning in a 4.77 ERA and 1.43 WHIP in the majors since 2023.

DFA'd by New York Urena was designated for assignment by the Mets on Tuesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact The Mets removed Urena from the 40-man roster in order to recall Kevin Herget from Triple-A Syracuse. Urena tossed three innings of relief Monday against the Nationals and allowed seven hits, including a pair of homers, and five earned runs in the Mets' 19-5 win.

APRIL 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Notches ugly save Urena picked up a three-inning save in Monday's 19-5 victory over the Nationals, allowing five runs on seven hits and a walk. He struck out three.

Impact The veteran journeyman collected his sixth career save in this blowout win, firing 68 total pitches to absorb innings for the rest of the bullpen. Urena was added to the Mets' roster Sunday as A.J. Minter (lat) was placed on the injured list. The 33-year-old Urena is set to sop up more innings for New York while he is on the team, as he now sports a career 4.80 ERA.

Returning to majors The Mets selected Urena's contract from Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.

Impact Urena will take the spot on the 26-man roster vacated by A.J. Minter (lat), who was placed on the 15-day injured list. Urena signed a minor-league deal with the Mets in February and started in three games in Triple-A, but he'll likely operate out of the bullpen rather than the rotation. Urena appeared in 33 regular-season games (nine starts) for the Rangers in 2024, posting a 3.80 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 70:39 K:BB across 109 innings.

Latches on with NYM The Mets signed Urena to a minor-league contract Thursday that includes an invitation to spring training, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact Urena will give the Mets a swingman option after their rotation depth too a hit with recent injuries to Frankie Montas (lat) and Sean Manaea (oblique). The 33-year-old made nine starts and 24 relief appearances with the Rangers last season, collecting a 3.80 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 70:39 K:BB across 109 innings.

Hits IL with shoulder issue The Rangers placed Urena on the 15-day injured list Sunday with right shoulder fatigue.

Impact Urena will be eligible for activation Sept. 29, but since the Rangers will wrap up their regular season that day, he'll most likely be shelved for the remainder of 2024. The right-hander served as an occasional rotation fill-in and long-relief option this season, making 33 appearances (nine starts) and providing a 3.80 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 70:39 K:BB across 109 innings. Urena is scheduled to become a free agent this winter.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Yields three runs as bulk reliever Urena did not factor into the decision Friday, allowing three runs (two earned) on three hits and two walks over 5.2 innings against the Angels. He struck out three.

Impact The veteran right-hander served as the bulk reliever, firing 75 pitches and finishing the game after Gerson Garabito and Walter Pennington opened the contest. All three runs Urena allowed came via a homer by Logan O'Hoppe in the sixth inning. The 32-year-old has been a useful tool for manager Bruce Bochy to bridge the gap between numerous rotation injuries this season. He's now made 32 appearances -- including nine starts -- while pitching to a 3.69 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 68:38 K:BB across 107.1 innings.
