Marlins optioned RHP Jacob Turner to Triple-A New Orleans. Turner was assumed to have a rotation spot coming into camp, but he posted a rough 9.69 ERA and 5/9 K/BB ratio over 13 innings of work this spring. There's still plenty of potential here, but he'll try to improve at the Triple-A level. The final spot in the rotation figures to come down to either Kevin Slowey or John Maine.
