The Los Angeles Dodgers have activated pitcher Jose Urena, who was previously designated for assignment by the Toronto Blue Jays after a stint with the New York Mets. In a reshuffle, Will Klein was optioned to Triple-A and catcher Chuckie Robinson was DFA'd. Urena aims to bolster a struggling bullpen plagued by injuries and performance issues, with 12 blown saves this season. Despite a 4.78 career ERA, Urena's extensive MLB experience may provide the Dodgers with much-needed reliability on the mound.
The Dodgers collectively have 12 blown saves which is the third-highest mark in the majors this season.
Urena has a 4.78 career ERA, but also has 963.2 innings of work to his name.
After just one outing for New York, Urena allowed five runs across three innings before being designated for assignment.
Urena will look to bring his experience to a pitching roster that currently has 15 arms on the injured list.
