Long-relief roles are held by Wilber Dotel and Carmen Mlodzinski, while Hunter Barco, Antwone Kelly, and Khristian Curtis remain at Triple-A.
Urquidy debuted with the Houston Astros in 2019 under manager A. J.
Hinch. From 2019 to 2022, he pitched 342 innings for Houston with a 3.74 ERA.
He set career highs in 2022 with 13 wins and 164 1/3 innings, becoming the first Mexican-born pitcher to win multiple World Series games.
After an injury-plagued 2023, Urquidy missed the entire 2024 season due to Tommy John surgery.
He joined the Detroit Tigers during 2025 spring training for rehab, making two bullpen appearances in September 2025 before returning to Triple-A Toledo.
