Jose Urena to Start on Thursday
Jose Urena will get the start against the Athletics on Thursday. The 33-year-old has appeared in the majors with four teams this season (the Mets, Blue Jays, Dodgers, and Twins) and pitched to a 4.06 ERA (7.23 xERA) with a 1.42 WHIP, 17 strikeouts, and 11 walks over 31 innings. Urena has made three appearances with the Twins and recorded a stingy 2.13 ERA in 12 2/3 frames, but that success has come despite just seven strikeouts against six walks. He's in line for negative regression, and it could come against an A's offense that ranks fifth in the majors in wOBA and 12th in runs.
