Dodgers Sign Former NL West Rival Pitcher: Report

Ureña, 33, had a 3.65 ERA in six games with the Toronto Blue Jays before he was removed from their 40-man roster over the weekend. Ureña began the season with the Mets, and appeared in only one game for them before he was outrighted on May 1.

Rather than accepting a minor league assignment, Ureña elected free agency, and officially joined the Blue Jays four days later. Now he'll join his third team in little more than a month.

The Dodgers are familiar with Ureña from his time in Denver. He started 22 games for the Colorado Rockies in 2022-23, going 3-12 with a 5.93 ERA.

Ureña has appeared in 239 career games (154 starts) for the Miami Marlins, Detroit Tigers, Milwaukee Brewers, Chicago White Sox, Texas Rangers, Rockies, Mets and Blue Jays since his 2015 debut.

Ureña marks the second pitcher acquired by the Dodgers in as many days. Monday, they acquired reliever Will Klein from the Seattle Mariners for Triple-A left-hander Joe Jacques.

While Klein and Ureña will begin his time with the Dodgers organization in the major leagues, a third reliever — former Reds closer Alexis Diaz — was acquired last Thursday and assigned to the Dodgers' Arizona Complex League affiliate.

Depending on the corresponding move for Ureña, the Dodgers could have three or four relievers in the bullpen Tuesday who were either in the minors or not in the organization Sunday.
