Playing catch up to 120 feet The Tigers announced Tuesday that Urquidy (elbow) has been playing catch out to 120 feet three times per week as he continues his rehab program from Tommy John surgery, Evan Woodbe...

Impact Urquidy isn't expected to be available until the second half of the season after he required the second Tommy John surgery of his career last June. He's been limited to flat-ground throwing at this stage of his rehab, though he's steadily increasing the distance at which he's been playing catch and could be ready to start throwing off a mound by the end of the month.

Playing catch regularly The Tigers announced Tuesday that Urquidy (elbow) has been cleared to play catch up to 105 feet three times a week, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Urquidy underwent the second Tommy John surgery of his career back in June, so he'll have several more checkpoints to reach in the recovery process before he's cleared to make his Tigers debut, perhaps at some point in the second half of the season. Detroit signed Urquidy earlier this month on a one-year, $1 million deal that includes a $4 million team option for 2026.

Reaches deal with Detroit Urquidy (elbow) signed a contract with the Tigers on Saturday, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Urquidy is still recovering from a Tommy John procedure he underwent in June, so he likely won't be available to pitch for the Tigers until the second half of the season. Once healthy, he'll add depth to Detroit's starting rotation, though the team may opt to use him out of the bullpen initially while he builds up his workload.

Elects free agency The Astros outrighted Urquidy (elbow) on Monday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Urquidy never pitched in the majors during the 2024 regular season. He started on the 15-day injured list with a right forearm strain, and he was able to ramp up to rehab assignments in May. However, he suffered a setback during his assignment, and after further evaluation and consultations, he underwent Tommy John surgery on his right elbow in early June. Urquidy could pitch again late during the 2025 regular season, but it will likely be with another organization that doesn't require his services at the major-league level during that campaign. He appeared in 16 games (10 starts) for the Astros during the 2023 regular season and posted a 5.29 ERA and 1.43 WHIP over 63 innings.

Team hopes for late-July return Astros general manager Dana Brown said Thursday that Urquidy (elbow) is projected to return in late July next season, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Urquidy underwent his second Tommy John surgery in June, so a return in a little over a year would be aggressive. Of course, any timetable at this juncture of recovery is a rough approximation. Urquidy is arbitration-eligible for a final time this offseason and it would seem as though the Astros plan to tender him a contract.

Being evaluated Tuesday Astros general manager Dana Brown said Sunday that Urquidy (forearm) will be evaluated by team physicians Tuesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Impact Urquidy was nearing his return from his rehab assignment, but he left Friday's outing with Triple-A Sugar Land after aggravating his right forearm. The severity of the right-hander's injury should be known following Tuesday's evaluation.

MAY 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Making next rehab start Friday Uquidy (forearm) will make a rehab start Friday with Triple-A Sugar Land, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact The right-hander threw 59 pitches in his previous outing Saturday with Double-A Corpus Christi and is expected to build up to 70-to-75 pitches Friday. If all goes well, Urquidy could return from the 15-day injured list and step into Houston's rotation during its four-game series in Seattle next week.

MAY 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starting rehab stint Astros manager Joe Espada said Wednesday that Urquidy (forearm) is likely to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sugar Land this weekend, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle...

Impact The right-hander threw live batting practice Tuesday and has now been cleared to pitch in minor-league games. Urquidy was shut down with a forearm strain in mid-March and will likely require a handful of rehab starts before making his season debut for the Astros.

MAY 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Faces hitters Wednesday Urquidy (forearm) threw live batting practice before Wednesday's game against Cleveland, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Urquidy was able to throw 30 pitches without any problems during Wednesday's session. The 29-year-old righty will likely throw one more round of BP before embarking on a rehab assignment in the minors, though it's unclear when that may be.

MAY 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Throws off mound Tuesday Urquidy (forearm) threw off the bullpen mound at Minute Maid Park on Tuesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Impact It's a big step as Urquidy continues to work his way back from a right forearm strain. He will progress to facing hitters and eventually go out on a rehab assignment, although it's not clear yet when that might happen. A Houston rotation that's been hit hard by injury could use Urquidy, but it won't rush the right-hander.
