The season is officially over for Urena. He is set to hit free agency this offseason.

Jose Urena allowed two earned runs over four innings in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Astros.

Fantasy Impact

He surrendered six hits and three walks without recording a strikeout. This performance slightly tarnishes Urena's otherwise decent season metrics, nudging his ERA and WHIP in the wrong direction. His inability to strike out batters in this outing highlights a persistent issue that could limit his fantasy upside, especially given his modest season strikeout rate of 5.87 K/9.

Jose Urena allowed seven runs on eight hits across four innings on Friday against the Red Sox.

Urena was making a spot start for Texas with Max Scherzer landing on the injured list. Boston got to him for four runs in the fourth inning. He remains off the fantasy radar.

Jose Urena earned the save on Sunday against the Royals.

After Max Scherzer threw five scoreless innings, Urena followed to complete the shutout on the afternoon of Kansas City. He allowed just one hit with one strikeout and one walk.

Jose Urena delivered an impressive performance against the Detroit Tigers, allowing just one run and striking out six over 6.2 innings in a commanding 9-1 victory for the Rangers.

Fantasy Impact

His control was on point, yielding only one hit and one walk, which significantly contributed to his team's success. This outing is a bright spot in Urena's season, lowering his ERA to 3.44 and demonstrating his capability to handle a starting role effectively. While his K/9 remains modest at 6.4, performances like this could hint at potential reliability, making him a speculative add for fantasy managers in deeper leagues or those in need of steady innings. However, his high FIP of 4.61 suggests some caution, indicating that he might be outperforming some underlying metrics.
