Urena (4-2) allowed three runs on three hits and three walks over five innings Wednesday, striking out five Cubs in a 6-5 win.
With his ERA now up to 3.96, his WHIP up to 1.36 and his K/9 a miserable 5.68, Urena is barely clinging to the outer fringes of fantasy relevance. The peripherals have been suggesting that his numbers are going to take a turn for the worse, and that's just what's been happening recently, as he's given up six homers and 16 runs in his last 19.1 innings. Urena won't always be this bad, but it's quite clear that there was a healthy dose of luck mixed into the 1.91 ERA he posted through his first nine starts.
