Phillies Claim Urquidy to Fill Rotation Gap Created by Luzardo Injury
The Philadelphia Phillies claimed right-hander José Urquidy off waivers from the Chicago White Sox on September 17, 2026, to address a rotation void created by the injury of Jesús Luzardo. Urquidy, who has struggled in the majors this season but performed well in Triple-A, will join the team immediately for a bullpen game. To make room on the 40-man roster, the Phillies placed reliever Caleb Kilian on the 60-day injured list. While Urquidy is ineligible for the postseason due to the September 1 deadline, he provides immediate innings for the regular season finale as the club secures playoff positioning.
