Rockies purchased the contract of RHP Jair Jurrjens from Triple-A Colorado Springs. Jurrjens' first start in the majors in over a year will come Friday at Coors Field against Clayton Kershaw. The veteran right-hander has posted a 4.46 ERA, 1.60 WHIP, and 27/13 K/BB ratio through 34 1/3 innings this season at the Triple-A level and shouldn't draw any attention in fantasy leagues.

Jair Jurrjens will be called up to start on Friday against the Dodgers. Jurrjens was acquired from the Reds on Thursday as the Rockies looked for some depth given the bevy of injuries to their rotation. The veteran right-hander has posted a 4.46 ERA, 1.60 WHIP, and 27/13 K/BB ratio through 34 1/3 innings this season at the Triple-A level and should be avoided in all fantasy leagues.

Rockies acquired RHP Jair Jurrjens from the Reds for INF Harold Riggins. Jurrjens had posted an underwhelming 4.46 ERA, 1.60 WHIP, and 27/13 K/BB ratio through 34 1/3 innings this season at Triple-A Louisville. But the 28-year-old may still get a shot at some point with the big-league Rockies, who have the worst team ERA in MLB this season.

Reds signed RHP Jair Jurrjens to a minor league contract. Knee problems have limited Jurrjens to 13 appearances (11 starts) in the majors over the past two seasons, but he's back to 100 percent following a procedure last September. It's tough to expect much at this point, but it's easy to forget that he's only 28 years old.

CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports that Jair Jurrjens (knee) is currently touching 90 mph in throwing sessions and looking to sign on with a major league team. Knee issues have limited Jurrjens to just 11 starts over the last two seasons in the majors. He's coming back from a knee operation performed last September but is evidently healthy now. He turned just 28 in January and would make for a solid no-risk minor league signing for someone.

Yahoo! Sports' Tim Brown reports that Jair Jurrjens is "getting some free-agent love." Brown also reveals that Jurrjens underwent knee surgery in September that requires 8-10 weeks of recovery. The right-hander has undergone multiple surgeries in the past and worked on minor league deals for the Orioles and Tigers this past season. He'll surely have to settle for another non-guaranteed pact.

Tigers signed RHP Jair Jurrjens to a minor league contract; assigned him to Triple-A Toledo. Jurrjens was designated for assignment by the Orioles on July 12 after posting a 4.18 ERA and 1.33 WHIP over his first 16 starts at Triple-A Norfolk. It's hard to see him getting a shot in the majors with Detroit.

Jair Jurrjens has elected free agency. Jurrjens was DFA'd last week, but declined his outright assignment to Triple-A Norfolk. He is now eligible to sign with another team and will attempt to reestablish his career on a minor league contract.

Orioles designated RHP Jair Jurrjens for assignment. The move was made in order to free up a 40-man roster spot for Jairo Asencio. Jurrjens has thrown just 7 1/3 innings for the O's this season and hasn't done terribly well at Triple-A Norfolk, posting a 4.18 ERA and 1.33 WHIP over 16 starts. He's likely to clear waivers, but the O's might opt to just cut him loose.

Orioles optioned RHP Jair Jurrjens to Triple-A Norfolk. Jurrjens was designated for assignment on Sunday, but he had a minor league option left and will remain on the Orioles' 40-man roster. The right-hander threw 2 1/3 innings of scoreless relief on Saturday against the Yankees and should be back up in the bigs soon.
