Joe Frisaro of MLB.com writes that there's a chance that Jacob Turner will begin the season in the minors.
Turner opened spring training as a favorite for a rotation spot, but Marlins manager Mike Redmond indicated on Tuesday that he's still competing for a job. Ricky Nolasco, Nathan Eovaldi and Henderson Alvarez are already expected to be in the rotation while Wade LeBlanc is likely to be the fourth starter, so the fifth spot will come down to Turner, Kevin Slowey and John Maine. Turner has a 10.80 ERA and 4/5 K/BB ratio over 8 1/3 innings this spring and will make his next start on Sunday.
