Rest-of-Season Projections
Early exit in Miami
Urena (1-5) took the loss Friday, giving up four runs (two earned) on four hits and two walks over 2.1 innings as the Rangers fell 8-2 to the Marlins. He struck out one.
ANALYSIS
An error by Marcus Semien in the third inning did Urena no favors, but the right-hander also wasn't fooling anyone, managing only five swinging strikes among his 65 pitches before getting the hook. Urena is on his fifth team in four seasons since leaving Miami after the 2020 campaign, and while he sports a solid 3.74 ERA and 1.34 WHIP through 45.2 innings for Texas this year, his 5.61 ERA and 1.59 WHIP over the prior three seasons suggest regression is coming. If he gets another turn through the rotation, Urena lines up for a home start next week, either Wednesday against the Tigers or Friday against the Giants.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could stick in rotation
Urena may have a chance to remain in Texas' rotation after Dane Dunning was diagnosed with a shoulder injury Wednesday, per Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News.
ANALYSIS
Urena gave up one earned run over five frames in a spot start Tuesday, but he may now be needed for at least a couple turns through the rotation. The veteran right-hander has been solid as a swingman this season with a 3.86 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 18:11 K:BB across 25.2 innings.

Urena was mostly terrible last season for the Rockies, but he did post a 3.51 ERA over six starts in the final month and perhaps that was enough to convince the club to re-sign him to a one-year, $3.5 million contract. The 31-year-old was, unsurprisingly, much better on the road than at home, but he wasn't great in either situation and his career-long problems against left-handed batters continued. Urena should open 2023 in the Rockies' rotation, but his leash figures to be short and he's not worth your attention in fantasy leagues.
