According to reports, Urena will be making his first start for the Blue Jays tonight when they stat their series against the Angels which is a bit of a surprise since he was officially signed yesterday.
José Ureña now officially tonight's starter, the #BlueJays say.
Today's #BlueJays starter will be RHP Jose Urena in opener vs. Angels
Last season Urena had a solid year in Texas with the Rangers where he finished with a 3.80 ERA in 109 innings pitched but things have not gone as well for him this season as in 3 innings with the Mets as he had a 15.00 ERA in that time.
It will be interesting to see how he ends up doing for the Blue Jays in his first start and if he really can be Scherzer's replacement.
