José Urquidy - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Stellar in bulk role Urquidy (2-1) earned the win Wednesday over the Cubs, allowing two hits over six scoreless innings. He struck out eight.

Impact Making just his second appearance with the White Sox, Urquidy delivered a dominant performance in relief Wednesday, as he turned in six scoreless innings after Sean Newcomb pitched the first two frames. The outing lowered Urquidy's ERA to 5.06 on the season with a 1.50 WHIP and 17:2 K:BB across 16 innings between the White Sox and Pirates. It remains to be seen whether Chicago will deploy Urquidy as a traditional starter or in a bulk role again his next time out, which currently lines up to come at home next week against the Rangers.

Pitches in bulk relief Friday Urquidy (1-1) was the pitcher of record in Friday's 9-5 win over the Tigers, covering 3.2 innings out of the bullpen and striking out three batters while giving up three earned run...

Impact Making his White Sox debut after being called up from Triple-A Charlotte earlier in the day, Urquidy essentially ended up taking over the rotation spot that previously belonged to Noah Schultz, who was optioned to the minors Aug. 8. Though Sean Newcomb drew the start Friday, he ended up serving as more of an opener, covering 1.1 innings before Urquidy took over in bulk relief. While Urquidy was far from dominant over his 52-pitch appearance, he received enough run support to come away with a win. Expect Urquidy to remain in the rotation for another turn, with the White Sox likely to deploy him as a traditional starter or bulk reliever during Wednesday's series finale with the Cubs at Wrigley Field.

Impact Urquidy didn't have a good spring, logging a 9.28 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and eight strikeouts in 10.2 innings. However, he'll work in a long relief role to open the year after signing a $1.5 million contract in the offseason.

Shaky spring continues Urquidy allowed three earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out four and walking one across 3.2 innings in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Rays.

Impact It was a mixed performance for Urquidy, who built up to 61 pitches and also managed more strikeouts than walks in an outing for the first time in three appearances this spring. He's also allowed three earned runs in each of those outings, resulting in nine earned runs across 8.2 innings. Urquidy was the presumed fifth starter for the Pirates entering the spring, but he may be leaving the door open for either Hunter Barco or Carmen Mlodzinski to claim the role instead.
