Phillies Add Urquidy for Late Push | Chicago News
Description
The Phillies are making a bold move to fortify their bullpen for the stretch run, claiming veteran righty Jose Urquidy off waivers from Chicago after his DFA. With starter Jesus Luzardo out for the year, Philly’s relievers are set to shoulder extra innings — and Urquidy, who bounced between Pittsburgh and Chicago before this deal, brings playoff pedigree from his World Series ring with Houston. His recent uptick in performance with the White Sox, especially in multi-inning roles, makes him a perfect fit. The Phillies also signed Nestor Cortes, signaling they’re serious about postseason contention.
