Angels' Walbert Urena: Poor outing Saturday
Urena (0-3) took the loss Saturday against the Royals after allowing four runs on six hits and five walks across 3.2 innings. He struck out three.
Urena looked impressive in his first start of the season April 19 against the Padres with six-plus innings of two-run ball and eight strikeouts, but he couldn't repeat that outing here. The right-hander failed to consistently find the strike zone Saturday, as he tossed just 44 of his 81 pitches for strikes and was lifted before completing four innings. It remains to be seen if Urena will get another turn in the rotation, but this outing increased his ERA to 4.76 and WHIP to 2.21. If Urena gets another start, he'd be tentatively lined up to face the Mets at home next weekend.

Angels' Walbert Urena: Drawing another start
Urena is slated to start Saturday's game against the Royals in Kansas City, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Summoned from Triple-A Salt Lake last weekend to make his first MLB start, Urena spun a gem for the Halos, striking out eight and allowing two runs on four hits and two walks across six innings in a losing effort against the Padres. He'll be awarded another turn through the rotation on the heels of that strong outing, but Urena's stay with the big club could come to an end as soon as Grayson Rodriguez (shoulder) is ready to return from the injured list, likely at some point in May.

Angels' Walbert Urena: Shows promise in second loss
Urena (0-2) took the loss Sunday, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over six-plus innings against the Padres. He struck out eight.
Urena turned in a solid performance in a losing effort, limiting hard contact and generating a game-high 13 whiffs en route to eight strikeouts. After making the Angels' Opening Day roster and appearing twice out of the bullpen, the right-hander was sent to Triple-A Salt Lake to work as a starter before being recalled Saturday. It remains to be seen whether he'll receive another start this rotation cycle, though Sunday's outing was a positive.

Angels' Reid Detmers: Start moved to Monday
Detmers is no longer scheduled to start Sunday's game against the Padres and will instead take the hill for Monday's game versus the Blue Jays in Anaheim, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Rather than waiting until the upcoming week to break in a new fifth starter, the Angels will have Walbert Urena enter the rotation for Sunday's series finale. Detmers tentatively lines up for two starts next week as a result, with his second turn set to come next Sunday in Kansas City.

Angels' Sam Aldegheri: Sent back to Triple-A
The Angels optioned Aldegheri to Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday.
Aldegheri made his season debut Thursday against the Yankees and gave up one earned run on a solo home run in 1.2 innings. He'll now rejoin the rotation at Triple-A Salt Lake and be replaced on the big-league roster by Walbert Urena.

Angels' Walbert Urena: Back in Anaheim
The Angels recalled Urena from Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday.
Urena gave up six unearned runs over 1.2 innings during his first stint with the Angels at the beginning of the season and has since posted a 6.48 ERA and 1.60 WHIP through two starts with Salt Lake. The Halos have an opening in their rotation, but Urena's lack of recent success will likely keep him in a long-relief role while he's in the majors. Sam Aldegheri was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Angels' Walbert Urena: Set to start Sunday
Urena will start Sunday's game against the Padres, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
The right-hander was called up from Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday and will fill the Halos' open rotation spot, pushing back Reid Detmers to pitch Monday versus the Blue Jays. Urena made two relief appearances for Anaheim in the opening days of the season and gave up six runs (none earned) on five hits and three walks across 1.2 innings. He covered five frames during his last start for Salt Lake and should be able to handle a typical starting workload.

Angels' Walbert Urena: Demoted to Triple-A
The Angels optioned Urena to Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.
The 22-year-old cracked the Halos' Opening Day roster and recorded two outs without allowing a run Opening Day, but he surrendered six runs (all unearned) on four hits and two walks to take the loss Saturday against the Astros. Urena should get another look with the Angels later this season, but for now Shaun Anderson will take his roster spot to round out the bullpen. Manager Kurt Suzuki confirmed that Urena will get stretched back out as a starter in the minors as a member of Salt Lake's rotation, per Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com.

Angels' Walbert Urena: Could break camp with Angels
Urena could make the Angels' Opening Day roster, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Urena has pitched just one game above the Double-A level, so he came into camp as a long shot to break camp with the big-league club. However, the right-hander has had a decent spring, posting a 4.60 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 14:5 K:BB over 15.2 innings spanning six appearances (including one start). Beyond those surface numbers, Urena has hit triple digits with his sinker and hasn't yet given up any long balls. He's worked mostly as a starter in the minors, though Urena's profile could fit that of a high-leverage reliever. Whether or not he makes the season-opening 26-day roster could hinge on whether Alek Manoah (finger) and Grayson Rodriguez (arm) begin the campaign in the Angels' rotation.

Angels' Walbert Urena: Added to 40-man roster
The Angels selected Urena's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.
The right-hander spent most of the 2025 campaign at Double-A Rocket City, where he had a 4.33 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 121:74 K:BB across 139.1 innings. Urena moved up to Triple-A for his final outing of the season and could be back at the highest level of the minors to begin 2026.
