2023 Fantasy Outlook
Urena was mostly terrible last season for the Rockies, but he did post a 3.51 ERA over six starts in the final month and perhaps that was enough to convince the club to re-sign him to a one-year, $3.5 million contract. The 31-year-old was, unsurprisingly, much better on the road than at home, but he wasn't great in either situation and his career-long problems against left-handed batters continued. Urena should open 2023 in the Rockies' rotation, but his leash figures to be short and he's not worth your attention in fantasy leagues. Read Past Outlooks

Tosses quality start in loss
Urena did not factor into the decision, allowing four hits and three walks over six scoreless innings in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Padres. He struck out three.
ANALYSIS
Urena finished the season on a high note, working his way through the Padres lineup without difficulty. The right-hander finished his season with a 6.45 ERA and 1.61 WHIP across 44.2 innings with 29 strikeouts. Urena is expected to look for a new contract in free agency this winter.

Urena was one of the many Miami players caught up in the team's COVID-19 outbreak and didn't pitch until early September. He was later denied a chance to pitch in the playoffs when he suffered a fractured forearm in the regular-season finale. The 29-year-old made five starts and had a 5.40 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 15:13 K:BB over 23.1 innings, compiling an 0-3 record. Urena was shifted to the bullpen during the 2019 campaign, and the Marlins could test their luck with that move again next season. The right-hander still features a fastball over 95 mph, but his strikeout and walk rates (16.3% and 8.3%, respectively) over the past two years don't offer much upside. It remains unclear whether the Marlins plan to keep him in the starting rotation or push him back to the bullpen for 2021, but he hasn't had much success in either role since 2018.
