Urena went unclaimed on waivers after he was designated for assignment by the Twins. He'll be able to sign with any team.

Jose Urena cleared waivers and elected to become a free agent on Monday.

Fantasy Impact

Urena has pitched for the New York Mets and Toronto Blue Jays this season, posting a 5.87 ERA and 1.50 WHIP across 15.1 innings. Given his versatility as a starter and reliever, he'll likely receive another opportunity with a team in need of pitching depth.

Jose Urena has chosen to become a free agent instead of accepting an outright assignment to the minors.

Fantasy Impact

Despite recording a save on Monday, Urena surrendered five runs on seven hits, including two home runs, over three innings. He'll now look for an opportunity with another team.

José Ureña agreed Thursday to a minor league contract with the Mets that includes an invitation to spring training, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Fantasy Impact

With injuries to Frankie Montas (lat) and Sean Manaea (oblique) thinning out the Mets' rotation depth, Ureña gives the team a potential swingman option heading into the season. The veteran right-hander split time between starting and relief roles for Texas last season, posting a 3.80 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, and 70:39 K:BB across 109 innings. If he performs well in camp, Ureña could carve out a spot in the Mets' bullpen or serve as a depth starter.
