Tigers Place Jose Urena On 10-Day Injured List, Recall Zack Short

By TC Zencka | May 29, 2021 at 9:03am CDT

The Tigers announced a pair of corresponding roster moves this morning. Jose Urena has been added to the 10-day injured list with a right forearm strain, and infielder Zack Short has been recalled from Triple-A to take his roster spot.

It’s going to be a short stint on the IL for Urena, per Evan Woodbery of the MLive Media Group (via Twitter). It’s possible that Urena will only miss one start. The Tigers can roll with a four-man rotation for the duration of a 10-day IL stint because of a pair of off days coming up. They’ll have a rest day both before and after a four-game set with the White Sox that starts next Thursday.

Urena has a bit of a quirky profile, but he’s put together a solid 10-start stretch for the Tigers, pitching to a 4.14 ERA/3.81 FIP across 54 1/3 innings. The 29-year-old has burned worms at a career-best 54.3 percent rate and otherwise kept the ball in the ballpark with an excellent 6.8 percent HR/FB rate. Despite above-average velocity, Urena doesn’t miss many bats with just a 15.0 percent strikeout rate. He ranks just in the 8th percentile for whiff rate and sixth percentile for K-rate. Regardless, he’s been one of the Tigers’ more prolific arms this season, racking up the third highest innings total on the team.

Short returns to the big league club on his 26th birthday. The right-handed infielder has just seven career plate appearances, all coming this season. He’ll be an extra bat for potential pinch-hitting opportunities when the Tigers travel to a National League park to take on the Brewers starting on Monday. The former Cubs farmhand was hitting .227/.424/.409 through 59 plate appearances in Triple-A this season.

    Jose Urena has been a good acquisition. I hope DET didn’t get him just to trade away for prospects the organization won’t develop.

    Zach Short should be the everyday SS. Keep him up this time.

      I sure hope they did get him to trade away. They signed him to a one year contract. He’s walking at the end of the year for nothing, if they don’t. With the need for pitching, hopefully they can someone that doesn’t need a lot of developing, back for him. He would be a good fit for the Yankees with his contract being cheap and his ability to keep the ball on the ground.

        If urena is good enough for another team to give up a prospect who “doesn’t need a lot of developing”, then it sounds like the tigers should just hang on to him

      Tigers have the worst defense in the MLB. Their pitching is keeping them respectable. They can’t hit much either. Huge turnover this offseason and time to start the best defensive team they can & play small ball until Torkelson, Greene & a few others arrive.

    Wow, it’s Zach Short’s birthday today as well! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZACH! Unfortunately, MLBTR didn’t say anything in the article that they wrote, but it’s TC, so it makes sense.

    I’m surprised Short was called up over Yariel Gonzales. Most never heard of him, but he’s lighting up the minor league scoreboards!

      No doubt. He can also play all over the field, which should only increase his chances of seeing a call up, hopefully soon.

    I’ve been watching 3B Yariel Gonzalez too. He will likely get a chance next spring. Willi Castro needs to go down to get his offense back.

    We can only hope that eight years into the rebuild, they can field a MLB team for the 2024 season.

      I can’t believe the negativity, this team has the makings of World Series champion written all over it, we just lack 7-8 good players and 4-5 ace pitchers and we can still pull it off this year. Cmon guys start drinking the kook aid err koolaid

    Short (former Cub) is on a Cubs podcast that I listen to called The Compound, so I’ll be rooting for him. Go get em!
