Angels' Jose Urena: Effectively wild in no-decision
Jose Urena didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Twins, allowing one run on four hits and four walks over four innings. He struck out three.The journeyman right-hander threw only 36 of 71 pitches for strikes before getting the hook and put runners in scoring position in three of his four frames, but Urena was able to hold the damage to a James Outman solo shot in the third inning. The Halos haven't indicated that they intend to switch to a six-man rotation, so Urena will likely return to a long-relief role despite his success with his MLB record-tying fifth big-league team of 2025. Over two appearances and nine innings for the Los Angeles Angels, he's posted a 1.00 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 9:4 K:BB.

Angels' Jose Urena: Drawing spot start Wednesday
Jose Urena will start Wednesday's game against the Twins, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.The Los Angeles Angels have decided to give Urena a spot start so that their regular rotation members can have some extra rest. Urena struck out six over five scoreless frames in an extended relief outing last Friday versus the Athletics in his first appearance for the Halos. Unless the Angels decide to switch to a six-man rotation down the stretch, Urena will likely shift to long relief after Wednesday's outing.

Angels' Jose Urena: Inks deal with Halos
Jose Urena agreed to a major-league contract with the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday.The right-hander elected free agency after being designated for assignment by the Twins last week, but he was able to find another home in the majors. Urena had made 13 appearances (five starts) with four different MLB clubs this season and has a 5.00 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 20:13 K:BB over 36 innings. After placing Tyler Anderson (oblique) on the injured list Sunday and optioning Jack Kochanowicz to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday, the Angels have two open spots in the rotation, and Urena is a good bet to fill one of those slots during the team's upcoming series in Kansas City.

Twins' Jose Urena: Mops up in bulk relief
Jose Urena struck out three and allowed two hits and one walk over 5.2 scoreless innings of relief in Friday's 7-0 loss to the Tigers.With the Minnesota Twins trailing 6-0 with one out in the third inning and runners on second and third, Urena was called upon in relief of opening pitcher Pierson Ohl to put out the fire. Urena induced a sacrifice fly to allow one run to score, and then got Colt Keith to line out to end the frame. Urena proceeded to retire 14 of the next 17 batters he faced to save the Minnesota bullpen and perhaps set him up for another starting opportunity or bulk-relief appearance next week while the Twins continue to lean on a three-man rotation at the moment and fill in the gaps as needed until two of Pablo Lopez (shoulder), Simeon Woods Richardson (illness) or David Festa (shoulder) return from the injured list. Urena had previously made a three-inning start in his most recent appearance last Sunday versus the Royals before shifting to the bullpen.

Twins' Jose Urena: Set to start Sunday
Jose Urena is slated to start Sunday against the Royals at Target Field, Phil Miller of the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.Urena will make a second straight turn through the rotation after he started last Sunday versus Cleveland and gave up two runs over four innings. The right-hander could have a longer leash versus Kansas City, but his poor ratios on the season (5.24 ERA, 1.52 WHIP, 7.1 K-BB%) over stops with four different teams render him a poor streaming option.

Twins' Jose Urena: Solid outing in win
Jose Urena made his first start for the Minnesota Twins and did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk over four innings against the Guardians. He struck out three.Urena was a late replacement for Simeon Woods Richardson, who had his start pushed back due to an illness. Urena isn't likely to get another turn in the rotation, but he could be used as a bulk reliever or in an opener role, as the Twins' rotation and bullpen remain in flux after the team traded away five relievers Thursday.
