Jose Urena News: Elects free agency

Urena elected to enter free agency after clearing waivers Monday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Urena was designated for assignment by the Twins on Friday, one day after being tagged for six runs and a loss in a spot start against the Athletics. Rather than sticking around in the Twins organization as a depth arm at Triple-A St. Paul, Urena will enter free agency and look for an opportunity elsewhere. He's appeared in 13 major-league games (five starts) with four teams this season and has accrued a 5.00 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 20:13 K:BB across 36 innings.
