The Astros pitching development prowess has paid dividends recently in the form of extensive major league and upper minors pitching depth, and it looks like another arm from the Triple-A stable will soon be making his MLB debut. With the Astros in need of a Tuesday starter, rumor has it that Mexican hurler Jose Urquidy will get the call against the Rockies in Coors. It’s a difficult assignment, and one that Urquidy has earned with his outstanding performance thus far in 2019.
Signed in 2015, Urquidy got off to a strong start in the minor leagues, putting up a 127/24 K/BB mark in 125.
