Phillies Activate Urquidy for Mets Series as Luzardo Remains Out
The Philadelphia Phillies claimed right-hander José Urquidy off waivers from the White Sox to provide immediate pitching depth against the New York Mets. Urquidy is scheduled to pitch in a bullpen game on Friday, offering bulk innings as interim manager Don Mattingly seeks to avoid a single-inning relay. This move follows the injury of star starter Jesús Luzardo, who remains on the injured list with an inflamed left shoulder and is unlikely to return before the regular season ends. To accommodate Urquidy on the 40-man roster, the club placed reliever Caleb Kilian on the 60-day injured list. While Urquidy is not eligible for the postseason, the Phillies view him as a temporary solution to stabilize their rotation during the final stretch of the regular season.
