Takes tough-luck loss Urena (0-3) allowed two runs on seven hits and two walks over seven innings in Friday's loss to Oakland. He struck out eight and took the loss.

Impact Urena cruised through three scoreless innings to start the game before coughing up two runs in the fourth. His offense couldn't get much going against Frankie Montas so the 29-year-old was tagged with a loss despite producing his best outing of the season. He now owns a 17:11 K:BB and 5.52 ERA through 14.2 frames. Urena will face the Pirates at home next Thursday.

Walks five in loss Urena (0-2) allowed two runs on three hits and five walks while fanning four across 4.2 innings in Sunday's loss against the Indians.

Impact Urena struggled in his first start of the season and things didn't change Sunday -- even though he limited the damage to just two runs, the control issues plagued him once again. He now owns a 9:9 BB:K over his first 7.2 innings of the campaign.

Roughed up in first start Urena (0-1) took the loss after surrendering six runs (five earned) on four hits and four walks while striking out five over three innings Monday against Minnesota.

Impact The Twins were locked in on Urena from the start, putting up one run in the first and five in the second with the help of a Nelson Cruz grand slam. Urena threw first-pitch strikes to just four of the 16 batters he faced and was pulled after hurling 81 pitches (39 strikes). He'll get a chance to redeem himself in his next scheduled start Sunday in Cleveland.

Allows one run in last spring start Urena allowed one run across 4.2 innings in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees. He gave up one hit and five walks while striking out three.

Impact The five walks are a little concerning, but it was otherwise a good start for Urena, who finishes spring training with a solid 1.93 ERA. The righty will open the season in Detroit's rotation, slotting in somewhere behind Opening Day starter Matthew Boyd.

Earns rotation spot Urena has officially won a spot in the Tigers' rotation, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Urena made just five starts last season and didn't look good, struggling to a 15:13 K:BB and 5.40 ERA with the Marlins. He owns a 1.93 ERA and 1.07 WHIP in 9.1 innings so far this spring, though his 2:4 K:BB tells a different story. It's tough to get very excited about him for fantasy purposes, as he owns a career 4.60 ERA and 15.9 percent strikeout rate.

Continues strong play Urena allowed one run across 4.2 innings in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Phillies. He gave up five hits and a walk with no strikeouts.

Impact Urena has made three appearances this spring and has allowed just two earned runs across 9.1 innings. The righty only has two strikeouts, and he's never been a big strikeout guy, so he's unlikely to help fantasy managers there. However, Urena should at least be locked into a rotation spot with the Tigers and able to make plenty of starts.

Spring debut coming Sunday Urena (forearm) will start Sunday's spring game against the Blue Jays, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 29-year-old arrived a couple days late to camp due to travel issues and will see his first game action of spring training Sunday. Urena joined Detroit on a one-year, $3.25 million deal after being non-tendered by Miami in December, and he's a likely bet to open the season in the starting rotation. The right-hander had a 5.40 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 15:13 K:BB over 23.1 innings for the Marlins last season before fracturing his right forearm in the season finale.

Arrives at camp Urena (forearm) arrived at camp Thursday but still has to going through intake protocols before joining his teammates, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Urena was briefly delayed by travel issues but should still have time to build up for the start of the regular season. He's likely to be a member of the Tigers' rotation to open the year, though he'll have to prove his health in camp, as he fractured his forearm in late September.

Not yet at camp Urena (forearm) hasn't yet arrived at spring training due to travel issues, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Urena signed a one-year deal with the Tigers in December, but he'll be unavailable to begin spring training due to his travel issues. It's not yet clear when he could join the team, but he'll likely serve as a starter for Detroit once he's available. The righty made five starts for the Marlins last season, recording a 5.40 ERA and 1.50 WHIP over 23.1 innings.
