2026 Transactions: Phillies DFA Urquidy, Cubs Recall Garrett

The Phillies designated pitcher Jose Urquidy for assignment.

That move cleared a roster spot for Jesús Luzardo, who was activated off the injured list. He was a logical casualty, as Urquidy tossed 2.2 IP and allowed three runs on September 26 against the Rays.
