Urena will be the Blue Jays' starting pitcher in Tuesday's game against the Angels, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Urena was officially signed to a major-league contract Monday and will go directly into the Blue Jays' rotation, at least for one turn. The right-hander was roughed up for five runs over three innings in a long-relief appearance for the Mets last month but had a solid 2024 season with the Rangers as a swingman, collecting a 3.80 ERA and 70:39 K:BB over 109 frames.

Sewald (shoulder) will be rechecked at two-week intervals to determine progress and readiness to begin a throwing program, MLB.com reports.

Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt earlier indicated that Sewald would be a out for a while, so these two-week evaluations track with earlier comments. There is still not an estimated timeline for the right-hander's return.

Munoz allowed an unearned run on a hit and walk while striking out three over one inning to take a blown save in Monday's 7-6 extra-innings loss to the Athletics.

Munoz's scoreless run to start the season ended on the first pitch of this appearance, as he allowed an RBI single by Jacob Wilson to knock in game-tying run to begin the 10th inning. Munoz then loaded the bases before striking out Lawrence Butler, Brent Rooker and Tyler Soderstrom in order to send the game to the 11th, where the Mariners ultimately lost on another Wilson hit. Since it was a ghost runner that scored, Munoz still has a sparkling 0.00 ERA to go with a 0.82 WHIP and 23:8 K:BB across 17 innings this season. However, he's now 12-for-13 in save chances, though this is shaping up to be the year he enters elite status among major-league closers.

Estevez collected the save in Monday's 3-0 win against the White Sox, allowing one hit and no walks over a scoreless inning with no strikeouts.

The Kansas City closer required only eight pitches, seven of which were strikes, to retire the side and lock down the Royals' 20th win. Since his last blown save April 22 against Colorado, Estevez has made five consecutive scoreless appearances over which he's bagged five saves. Through 16 innings, he has pitched to a 2.25 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 13:9 K:BB while not allowing a home run.

Kittredge (knee) started a minor-league rehab assignment with High-A Aberdeen on Sunday, allowing one run on two hits and no walks with two strikeouts in one inning, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Kittredge threw 14 pitches, and he wasn't sharp in his first rehab appearance. Left knee surgery limited the veteran right-hander to a lone outing during spring training, but he's now tracking toward making his season debut for the Orioles at some point in late May following several outings in the minors. Once he's reinstated from the injured list, Kittredge figures to be eased in as a middle reliever initially before eventually working alongside Yennier Cano and Seranthony Dominguez as one of Baltimore's right-handed setup men behind closer Felix Bautista.

The Red Sox acquired Holobetz from the Brewers on Monday to complete the April 7 trade for RHP Quinn Priester.

A fifth-round pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft, Holobetz has made three starts and two relief appearances this season with Single-A Carolina, collecting a 3.00 ERA and nifty 31:5 K:BB over 24 innings. The 22-year-old will likely be developed as a starting pitcher by Boston.

The Blue Jays optioned Walker to Triple-A Buffalo on Monday.

He'll cede his spot on the 26-man active roster to right-hander Jose Urena, whose signing was officially announced Monday. Walker has coughed up four runs in five innings with the big club this season but owns an 8:2 K:BB.

The Blue Jays transferred Swanson (forearm) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.

The transaction clears a spot on Toronto's 40-man roster. Swanson suffered a setback with his right forearm last week, and while an MRI came back negative, he's without a timetable to make his 2025 debut.

Rodriguez walked two with no strikeouts while allowing no hits across a scoreless seventh inning Sunday against the Yankees.

It wasn't Rodriguez's sharpest outing, but he has now gone six straight appearances without allowing a run and hasn't allowed an earned run in 12 of his 15 outings for the season. He's a key setup man in the Rays' bullpen -- he has six holds -- but is unlikely to see many save chances, particularly while Pete Fairbanks is healthy.

Jax allowed a run on a home run with a strikeout in an inning of work in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Red Sox to earn his ninth hold.

After his early struggles (10 earned runs in his first eight innings) that saw him demoted to lower-leverage work, Jax had improved before Sunday with five scoreless innings and a 11:0 K:BB. Even with giving up the home run Sunday, it looks like he's back to working in the eighth inning ahead of closer Jhoan Duran.
