José Urquidy Claimed by Phillies Off Waivers From White Sox and Likely to Pitch Friday vs. Mets

  • On Thursday, the Philadelphia Phillies claimed right-handed pitcher Jose Urquidy off waivers from the Chicago White Sox, providing pitching depth as the team competes for a playoff bid.
  • After All-Star starter Jesus Luzardo landed on the injured list with left shoulder inflammation, the Phillies sought reinforcements; Luzardo ranks among baseball's top 10 with 14 wins this season.
  • The 31-year-old right-hander brings experience from the Houston Astros, where he won the World Series in 2022, following stints with the Detroit Tigers, Pittsburgh Pirates, and White Sox, holding a career 4.08 ERA over 92 games.
  • Manager Don Mattingly indicated the right-hander could start Friday or follow an opener in a bulk role, though he remains ineligible for the postseason roster.
  • The Phillies' bullpen ranks 20th in baseball with a 4.31 ERA and has blown 23 of 63 save opportunities this year, making Urquidy a strategic addition to stabilize the staff during the final 10 games.
