No-decision Tuesday against Friars Urena didn't factor into the decision in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Padres, giving up two runs on three hits and three walks over four innings as the Roc...

Impact The right-hander continues to struggle with his control. Urena has issued multiple free passes in all six of his starts for Colorado since joining the club at the beginning of July, leading to a rough 4.94 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 17:16 K:BB through 31 innings. The 30-year-old isn't exactly solidifying his spot in the rotation, but the Rockies also don't seem to have any better options.

Chased early Thursday Urena (1-3) allowed 10 runs (seven earned) on eight hits and three walks while striking out two over three-plus innings, taking the loss Thursday versus the Dodgers.

Impact While three errors from the Rockies' defense, including one error by Urena, didn't help his cause, the right-hander proved no match for the Dodgers' powerful offense. He gave up multiple runs in each of the first two innings and then failed to record an out and put four runners aboard in the fourth before Austin Gomber was brought in to relieve him. Urena's ERA skyrocketed to 4.67 with a 1.62 WHIP and 19:18 K:BB across 34.2 innings in nine appearances (five starts) between the Rockies and Brewers this season. His last two starts have been his worst of the season, but the Rockies will likely need to keep him in the rotation with eight games in seven days next week. He's expected to make a road start in San Diego.

Takes loss Saturday Urena (1-2) was tagged for the loss against Milwaukee on Saturday, allowing six runs (five earned) on six hits and two walks while striking out five batters over 5.1 innings.

Impact Urena allowed only one extra-base hit in the outing, but it was a big three-run home run off the bat of Hunter Renfroe in the fourth inning. Prior to that hit, he had held the Brewers scoreless and appeared on his way to another successful appearance. Urena came into the contest having notched three straight quality starts during which he'd given up just three runs over 18.2 frames. The right-hander still has a solid 3.13 ERA through 31.2 innings on the campaign.

Throws six scoreless for first win Urena (1-1) gave up five hits and two walks while striking out four over six scoreless innings to earn the win in a 2-0 victory over the Pirates on Saturday.

Impact Urena took advantage of the lowly Pirates offense, going six strong for his first win of the season. The veteran right-hander has been solid in his three starts since being recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on July 7. He has only given up three earned runs in 18.2 innings as a starter. Despite playing well in the opportunities he has been given this season, it is unclear if he will hang in the rotation since Antonio Senzatela (shoulder) is expected to return after the All-Star break.

JULY 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Holds his own in loss Urena (0-1) allowed two runs on seven hits and three walks with three strikeouts in six innings, taking the loss Monday versus the Padres.

Impact Urena was able to limit the damage to a Luke Voit sacrifice fly in the first inning and a Jake Cronenworth solo home run in the third. Through two starts, Urena has allowed three runs, 12 hits and six walks in 12.2 innings -- that's better than the five runs (four earned) he allowed 7.2 innings in four relief outings with the Brewers early in the year. The right-hander has a 2.66 ERA, but an ugly 1.48 WHIP and 8:11 K:BB in 20.1 innings shouldn't give fantasy managers much confidence. He's still expected to make a home start versus the Pirates this weekend, but Urena may not stick in the rotation once Antonio Senzatela (shoulder) returns.

JULY 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Draws another start Urena is scheduled to start Monday's game against the Padres in Colorado.

Impact He'll get a second turn through the rotation after he passed his first test with the Rockies following his promotion from Triple-A Albuquerque last week. In a tough road start in Los Angeles, Urena took a no-decision while limiting the Dodgers to one run on five hits and three walks while striking out two in 6.2 innings. Pitching in altitude at hitter-friendly Coors Field will present an even stiffer test for Urena, who looks like a high-risk fantasy option to close out the first half even though he'll line up for two starts. His second start of the week would also come at home Saturday in Pittsburgh, so he has the potential to inflict major damage on fantasy managers' ratios.

Impresses in first start of season Urena pitched 6.2 innings against the Dodgers on Wednesday, allowing one run on five hits and three walks while striking out two. He didn't factor in the decision.

Impact Urena was promoted from Triple-A Albuquerque to make the start after appearing in four games as a reliever with the Brewers earlier in the campaign. The veteran hurler held his own against one of the game's top offenses, keeping the Dodgers scoreless through six frames before giving up his first run in the seventh. Urena finished with an efficient 89 pitches over 6.2 frames and didn't allow any extra-base hits, but he had to settle for a no-decision due to a quiet Colorado offense. After Wednesday's strong outing, it seems likely that he'll get another start with Antonio Senzatela (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list.

JULY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Promoted for Wednesday's start Urena had his contract selected by the Rockies and will start Wednesday against the Dodgers.

Impact Urena joined Colorado on a minor-league deal in mid-May and will make his first start of the season in Los Angeles. The 30-year-old appeared in four games as a reliever for the Brewers earlier in the year and allowed three earned runs with a 3:5 K:BB over 7.2 innings. Urena covered six innings during his last start with Triple-A Albuquerque.

JULY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Confirmed to start Wednesday The Rockies will call Urena up from Triple-A Albuquerque to start Wednesday's game against the Dodgers in Los Angeles.

Impact Colorado is expected to make the transaction official a few hours prior to the game's 10:10 p.m. ET start time. Urena will be entering the Colorado rotation as a replacement for Antonio Senzatela (shoulder), who was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday. Since he signed a minor-league contract with the Rockies in mid-May, Urena turned in a 7.29 ERA and 2.14 WHIP across 21 innings in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League.

JULY 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

In line for Wednesday's start Urena is expected to make a spot start Wednesday against the Dodgers, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Urena spent the first month of the 2022 season with the Brewers, posting a 3.52 ERA and 1.57 WHIP with a 5:3 K:BB across 7.2 frames in a relief role before being designated for assignment in early May. If the right-hander is confirmed as Wednesday's starter, it would mark his first big-league action since April 26. Urena has worked five and six innings in his last two minor-league outings, respectively, so he could potentially work more than a few frames if things go well.

JULY 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Signs minor-league contract Urena signed a minor-league contract with the Rockies on Friday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact Urena was designated for assignment by Milwaukee in early May, and he elected free agency rather than accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A Nashville. However, he'll settle for a minor-league deal with Colorado. The right-hander will work out at the Rockies' extended spring training facility in Arizona before presumably reporting to Triple-A Albuquerque.

MAY 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Elects free agency Urena elected free agency Monday instead of accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A Nashville.

Impact Urena lost his roster spot when rosters shrank to 26 players last week, as his 3.52 ERA in 7.2 innings of relief to start the season came with a very poor 3:5 K:BB. He went unclaimed on waivers and will probably have to settle for a minor-league deal considering that he owns a 5.45 ERA since the start of the 2019 season.

MAY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Moves off 40-man roster The Brewers designated Urena for assignment Monday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Impact He was moved off the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster to clear room for infielder Luis Urias (quadriceps), who was activated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. After earning a spot on the Brewers' Opening Day roster as a long reliever, Urena floundered over his four appearances out of the bullpen, giving up five runs (three earned) on seven hits and five walks while striking out three over 7.2 innings.

MAY 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Another extended relief appearance Urena gave up three runs -- one earned -- over 2.1 innings of relief in Tuesday's victory over the Pirates. He allowed four hits, walked a batter and struck out none.

Impact Urena had a shot to record a three-inning save Tuesday, but the Pirates put the tying run on deck in the ninth inning, and Josh Hader was summoned to close the door. Urena has tossed an inning-plus in three of his four appearances and owns a respectable 3.52 ERA, but he also has posted a 3:5 K:BB. Expect him to continue working in middle-to-long relief for the Brewers.
