The Toronto Blue Jays have shaken up their pitching rotation today, securing the signing of free agent pitchers Spencer Turnbull and José Ureña. Turnbull, who had a solid season with the Philadelphia Phillies last year, boasts a 2.65 ERA over 54.1 innings, although he missed significant time due to injury. Meanwhile, Ureña contributed 109 innings for the Texas Rangers last season, recording a 3.80 ERA, making him a versatile addition.

Both players will join the Jays as they navigate a crowded roster. The team faces the challenge of creating space for these new arms, potentially moving Max Scherzer or reliever Erik Swanson to the injured list. While Ureña’s ability to pitch in various roles will provide immediate help, Turnbull will require a few weeks to ramp up. This move reflects the Jays' urgent need to solidify their starting rotation as they head into a pivotal series against the Los Angeles Angels.
