Tigers Add Veteran Pitcher with World Series Experience in Roster Shuffle

On September 12, 2025, before their game in Miami, the Detroit Tigers activated right-handed pitcher Jose Urquidy from the 60-day injured list.
After undergoing right elbow surgery in June 2024, Urquidy joined the Tigers on a one-year contract following five seasons with the Houston Astros.
On September 12, the Tigers placed right-hander Sawyer Gipson-Long on the injured list for 15 days due to neck stiffness that developed following his September 11 appearance against the New York Yankees.
Urquidy has logged 46 1/3 innings across 15 postseason appearances in his career, while Gipson-Long's season is likely over with only a slim chance to contribute in the playoffs.
These roster adjustments opened a spot for Urquidy as he works to demonstrate his capability to pitch multiple innings out of the bullpen while the Tigers finalize their postseason pitching plans.
