Jose Urena

Jose Urena allowed two earned runs over 2 1/3 innings in the Rangers' 8-2 loss to the Marlins on Friday.

Fantasy Impact

He surrendered four hits and two walks while striking out only one batter. This performance is a slight blemish on what has been a fairly steady season for Urena, who now sees his ERA rise to 3.74 and his WHIP to 1.34. His low strikeout rate of 6.1 K/9 continues to limit his fantasy upside, and his FIP of 4.72 suggests some underlying issues that could lead to more outings like this. Fantasy managers should view Urena as a risky play, primarily in deeper leagues or formats that reward innings pitched over other categories.

Jose Urena (leg) has been cleared to start Friday against Miami.

Fantasy Impact

Urena exited his last start after being hit in the lower left leg with a comebacker. He currently holds a 2.78 ERA and a 1.24 WHIP in four starts for the Rangers this season.

Jose Urena allowed three earned runs over five innings in a 3-2 loss to the Twins on Friday.

Fantasy Impact

He surrendered nine hits and one walk while striking out six. This performance slightly tarnishes Urena's otherwise solid season metrics, nudging his ERA up to 3.53 and his WHIP to the 1.27 mark. His 6.2 K/9 rate this season remains modest, and while his strikeout numbers this game were decent, they're not enough to excite fantasy managers looking for high strikeout upside. Given his middling strikeout-to-walk ratio and a BABIP that could suggest some regression, Urena remains a risky play in most fantasy formats, suitable mainly for deeper leagues or as a streaming option against less formidable lineups.

Jose Urena delivered a solid performance, allowing just one earned run over six innings in the Rangers' 3-2 win over the Angels.

Fantasy Impact

He scattered four hits and a walk while striking out three batters. This outing underscores Urena's role as a reliable, if not spectacular, option in fantasy rotations, particularly in deeper leagues or as a streaming option. His season ERA now sits at a respectable 3.29, complemented by a 1.17 WHIP, but his low strikeout rate (5.6 K/9) continues to limit his ceiling. Fantasy managers should value his ability to contribute quality starts and decent ratios, though his lack of strikeouts means he's better suited for specific team builds that don't rely heavily on punchouts.

Jose Urena allowed two earned runs over 6.2 innings in the Rangers' 3-1 loss to the Rockies.

Fantasy Impact

He surrendered six hits, walked one, and struck out three. Despite a decent ERA of 3.62 and a WHIP of 1.24 this season, Urena's low strikeout rate of 5.8 K/9 continues to limit his fantasy upside. His performance today did little to inspire confidence, especially given the lack of wins and high FIP at 4.37, suggesting he might be benefiting from some good fortune on balls in play (.253 BABIP). Fantasy managers should view Urena as a risky play, primarily useful in deeper leagues or as a streaming option against less formidable offenses.
