Tigers reinstate Jose Urquidy from injured list

The Detroit Tigers reinstated right-handed pitcher José Urquidy from the injured list after he recovered from right elbow surgery performed in June 2024. Urquidy, who previously spent five seasons with the Houston Astros and last pitched in the 2023 American League Championship Series, signed a one-year deal with the Tigers following his waiver placement by the Astros. He made 10 minor league rehab appearances before being called up to the Tigers' major league roster. To accommodate Urquidy's return, the Tigers placed Sawyer Gipson-Long on the 15-day injured list due to neck stiffness. Urquidy has shown promising form in recent minor league rehab games, posting a 3.20 ERA and 0.86 WHIP over 19.2 innings, and is expected to contribute to the bullpen in the final weeks of the season with hopes of rejoining the starting rotation next year.
