The Detroit Tigers signed right-hander Jose Urquidy to a one-year, $1 million contract for the 2025 season with a $4 million club option for 2026.

Per the Tigers, the club option features 2026 performance bonuses for Urquidy, who hasn’t pitched since the 2023 season. Should the Tigers exercise the club option, Urquidy could earn up to an additional $3 million in incentives next year, making the contract worth a maximum of two years and $8 million.

Urquidy, who turns 30 in May, underwent Tommy John surgery on June 5, 2024. He was placed on the 60-day injured list Saturday by the Tigers as he continues to work his way back to the mound. It is unclear whether he will play in 2025.

Also Saturday, the Tigers placed right-hander Sawyer Gipson-Long on the 60-day injured list. Gipson-Long is rehabbing his left hip labral repair and recovering from Tommy John surgery.

Urquidy is 27-16 with a 3.98 ERA in 79 games (70 starts) over five seasons with the Houston Astros.
