NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Pitcher Jos\u00e9 Urquidy was claimed by the Philadelphia off waivers from the Chicago White Sox and could appear Friday against the New York Mets.<\/p>\n
Phillies manager Don Mattingly said he expected Urquidy would start Friday or follow an opener in a bulk role. Philadelphia needed another starter after All-Star Jes\u00fas Luzardo went on the injured list because of left shoulder inflammation.<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously, missing Zus’ start, it puts you in a bullpen game in some fashion,\u201d Mattingly said before Thursday’s series opener. \u201cAnd bullpen game, like one at a time, is a little different than having a bulk guy in there that can throw 70, 75 pitches.\u201d<\/p>\n
A 31-year-old right-hander, Urquidy was designated for assignment Tuesday. He is 2-2 with a 5.28 ERA and one save this year in one start and 10 relief appearances for the White Sox and Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n
He last pitched on Sept. 8, when he gave up two runs over four innings of relief while throwing 45 pitches against the Pirates.<\/p>\n
Luzardo, who made his first All-Star team this season, ranks amongst the NL\u2019s top 10 with 14 wins, a 2.87 ERA and 221 strikeouts.<\/p>\n
Philadelphia transferred right-hander Caleb Killian to the 60-day IL.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Pitcher Jos\u00e9 Urquidy was claimed by the Philadelphia off waivers from the Chicago White…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":807798,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2379],"tags":[5,85264,138,49,2561,9925,368,98460,4,9501,776,9496,22858,36947,396,2562],"class_list":["post-807797","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-chicago-white-sox","tag-baseball","tag-caleb-killian","tag-chicago","tag-chicago-white-sox","tag-chicagowhitesox","tag-don-mattingly","tag-jose-urquidy","tag-jose-urquidy-phillies-waivers","tag-mlb","tag-package-100502-member-choice-sports-option","tag-pittsburgh","tag-product-30599-ap-sports-news-s-wire-only","tag-product-40802-ap-new-york-city-sports-only","tag-product-40809-ap-pennsylvania-sports-only","tag-white-sox","tag-whitesox"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/117289565856080208","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/807797","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=807797"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/807797\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/807798"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=807797"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=807797"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=807797"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
