The Philadelphia Phillies have claimed right-hander José Urquidy off waivers from the Chicago White Sox. Per MLB Trade Rumors, manager Don Mattingly indicated that Urquidy will arrive prior to Friday's game against the New York Mets and will factor into that contest as part of a bullpen game, with Painter slated to start on Saturday.
ESPN reported that Urquidy could appear Friday, while Yahoo Sports noted that the veteran arm gives the Phillies another option for length as they navigate the absence of Jesús Luzardo. The reporting did not specify the circumstances that led the White Sox to designate Urquidy or provide additional details about his recent performance.
