Simply two days after being designated for task by the Pittsburgh Pirates on July 24, Jose Urquidy has discovered a brand new residence with the Chicago White Sox.
The White Sox have reportedly acquired the low-risk right-handed starter, and in alternate, the Pirates are reportedly buying minor league right-hander Felix Doroteo.
Whereas Urquidy struggled with the Pirates this season, logging an 0-1 file with an 8.53 ERA and a pair of.68 WHIP throughout 5 video games, he has pitched effectively in Triple-A this season with a 3.66 ERA throughout 83.2 innings with a 22% strikeout fee throughout 17 begins.
He’ll seemingly be a depth piece for the White Sox as a possible back-end starter or as a bulk reliever who could possibly be their subsequent reclamation challenge.
The White Sox don’t have anything to lose with Urquidy; they at present lead the AL Central with a 2.5-game cushion because of a 12-3 smackdown towards the Houston Astros on Sunday. Munetaka Murakami drove in six runs and blasted two residence runs on his bobblehead day.
