The Los Angeles Dodgers announced yesterday that they have decided to DFA former Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Jose Urena after signing him less than a week ago.
Last week, the Dodgers announced that they agreed to a major league deal with pitcher Jose Urena after the Blue Jays released him and he cleared waivers, electing free agency.

The Blue Jays decided to DFA Jose Urena at the end of May which led to him becoming a free agent once again as they need to make room on their roster for Easton Lucas.
ROSTER MOVES:
We've recalled LHP Easton Lucas from Triple-A and he will be active for today's game
RHP José Ureña has been designated for assignment
-
After being released, the Dodgers signed Urena on June 3rd but he did not even make it a full week before being DFA'd once again which will likely land him back in free agency.
Dodgers To Sign Jose Ureña
-
The Dodgers decided to call up right handed pitcher Matt Sauer from Triple-A which resulted in Urena being DFA'd again.
The Dodgers recalled right-hander Matt Sauer and designated RHP José Ureña for assignment.
-
During his short stint with the Dodgers Urena pitched 3 inning, finishing with a 3.00 ERA, 2 strikeouts and a 1.67 WHIP but was unable to maintain a roster spot.
Due to putting up decent numbers this season, Urena should be able to find himself a fourth home for the season and hopefully this time it will stick.
Will Jose Urena be able to find another contract?
