NEW YORK, NY – The New York Mets announced Sunday that veteran right-handed pitcher José Ureña has been added to their major league roster. Ureña, 32, is a journeyman pitcher who has played for four teams since his release by the Detroit Tigers in 2021.
After a stint with the Tigers in 2021, where he posted a 5.81 ERA in 100 innings, Ureña bounced around the league, playing for the Milwaukee Brewers, Colorado Rockies, and Chicago White Sox. His most recent stop was with the Texas Rangers, where he enjoyed a successful season, posting a 3.80 ERA over 109 innings. He pitched in both starting and relief roles for the Rangers.
Ureña signed a minor league deal with the Mets earlier this season and has now earned a spot on their active roster. This is his fifth team since leaving Detroit, highlighting his resilience and continued pursuit of a major league career.
