The Miami Marlins will send starter Jose Urena to the mound against the Pirates on Sunday as the right hander aims for his first win of the season. Urena has shown improvement since his miserable Opening Day start when he was shelled for five earned runs in just four innings of work. Since then, he's surrendered a combined four runs and owns a K/BB of 5.5/1 in 12 innings of work. Urena and the Marlins will face Ivan Nova in the series finale at Marlins Park.

After getting worked for five earned runs during his Opening Day loss, Miami Marlins starter Jose Urena came back strong against the Red Sox on Tuesday. The fireballer gave up a single run on just four hits while striking out seven in seven innings in the no-decision. It was the kind of performance Miami was hoping for from its ace, who recorded a team-high 14 wins last season. Urena is expected to make his next start against the Mets on April 9.

Urena allowed a single run on four hits and a walk while striking out seven batters through seven innings during Tuesday's 4-2 loss to Boston. He didn't factor into the decision.

Miami Marlins starter Jose Urena looks to bounce back from a rough Opening Day start where he was hit early and often. Urena, who led the club with 14 wins last season, gave up five earned runs in only four innings of work against the Cubs, including a home run to Chicago's Ian Happ on the first pitch of the new season. The righty went on to hit three batters in the inning and was eventually pulled after the fourth inning. He enters Tuesday's game against Boston with an 11.25 ERA and a 2.50 WHIP. If he wants his first win of the year, he'll have to get it against the mighty Chris Sale.

Happ before loading the bases and walking in another run in the inning. Urena settled in after allowing three runs in the first inning, but ultimately finished with the loss.

Starting pitcher Jose Urena has already been named the Miami Marlins Opening Day starter, though he's looking to regroup from an ugly spring. Marlins skipper Don Mattingly tabbed Urena as the team's No. 1 starter last week, so a stumble in spring training shouldn't be too concerning. In 7 1/3 innings, Urena has an 8.59 ERA to go with a 2.18 WHIP. He led the Marlins with 14 wins last year, a big reason why Mattingly wants him to begin the season as the team's ace. Urena looks to right the ship on Saturday as he takes the mound against the Houston Astros.

Urena failed to escape the first inning in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals, recording only one out and allowing six runs on six hits and two walks.

Jose Urena will be the Miami Marlins' Opening Day starter, according to MLB.com's Joe Frisaro. The move comes shortly after it was reported that Urena was competing with Dan Straily for the Opening Day start. Urena finished with a club-high 14 wins last year and a 3.82 ERA. While he notched a solid amount of wins, his 1.77 K/BB rate was not good at all. There is great reason to have hope for Urena, though. The 26-year-old fireballer began the 2017 season out of the bullpen, so it's rather impressive that he'll begin the 2018 season as Miami's ace.

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Jose Urena has been named the team's Opening Day starter. He'll get the nod over Dan Straily. On the surface, Urena was great in 2017 with a 14-7 record, 3.81 ERA and 1.27 WHIP, but when you look further, there are reasons to be skeptical. His FIP was 5.20 and he averaged just 6.0 strikeouts per nine innings and 3.4 walks per nine. He can be a successful streamer in NL-only leagues and DFS games, but Urena will likely struggle to stay consistent for those in mixed leagues in 2018.

Urena tossed two scoreless innings in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Mets, giving up one hit and one walk while striking out two.

Miami Marlins starter Jose Urena earned his second win of the Spring after throwing two scoreless innings against the New York Mets on Saturday. Urena allowed one hit and struck out two for his second consecutive shutout appearance. After beginning last season in the bullpen, Urena went 14-7 with a 3.82 ERA for the Marlins. Urena could very well end up being Miami's best starter this year, so keep an eye out for him on your fantasy boards.

Manager Don Mattingly said Urena will open the season in the Marlins' rotation, Andre Fernandez of the Miami Herald reports.

Miami Marlins right-hander Jose Urena lasted just 4 2/3 innings against the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday night. Urena allowed two runs on four hits while striking out three and walking four. The Brewers really made Urena work on Friday, forcing him to throw 101 pitches in under five innings. The 26-year-old right-hander didn't do himself any favors, throwing only 55 of those 101 pitches for strikes. On the year, Urena has a 13-6 record, 3.62 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, and 104 strikeouts in 152 1/3 innings of work this season. He's slated for a home start against the New York Mets next.

Miami Marlins right-hander Jose Urena picked up his 13th win of the season on Friday, holding the Atlanta Braves to one run in 6 1/3 innings of work. Urena struck out five and walked three in the game. The 25-year-old right-hander now has a 13-6 record, 3.61 ERA, and 101 strikeouts in 147 innings of work this season. Despite the strong-looking numbers, Urena has a SIERA of 5.05, suggesting that he's not pitching quite as well as his ERA in the threes indicates. He can be used as a streamer, but only in favorable matchups. He will look to keep it going in his next start, scheduled against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Urena didn't factor into the decision in Sunday's extra-inning loss to the Phillies, allowing only one run on six hits and a walk over seven innings while striking out three.

Urena has been solid for the Marlins this season, posting a 12-6 record, 3.71 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, and 96 strikeouts. He's been worth using as a streamer in favorable matchups.

The Miami Marlins will send starter Jose Urena to the mound on Sunday as the Fish look to avoid being swept to the Atlanta Braves. Urena leads the team with nine wins and has been incredibly dominant on the road this year. Urena is 6-0 away from Marlins Park where he's holding opposing batters to a paltry .176 average. The fireballer was nearly unhittable in his last start where he held the Washington Nationals to one earned run on three hits in a 1-0 loss. In his previous start in Atlanta, Urena surrendered just two runs and struck out four in six innings of work.

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Jose Urena finished with his best start of the season on Monday despite being saddled with the loss. Urena, who leads the club in wins, allowed just three hits and an earned run in eight innings against the Nationals in a 1-0 loss. The performance also lowered Urena's ERA from 4.04 to 3.82. The fireballer has performed much better on the road this season, but his incredible home start on Monday makes him a "must-add" if he's still available. On the season, he's 9-5 with a 3.82 ERA.

Miami Marlins starter Jose Urena is now 6-0 on the road after picking up the win on Wednesday night in Texas. Urena didn't have his best stuff on Wednesday, though it's hard to lose when your offense gives you double-digit run support. Urena gave up five earned runs and struck out five in five innings of work as he improved to 9-4 on the year. Though his ERA is lower at home, opposing batters are hitting him for a measly .164 average on the road. If you're in need of a pitcher and Urena is still available, be sure to nab him, especially when he pitches on the road.

Urena (9-4) allowed five runs on four hits and four walks while striking out four batters through five innings during Wednesday's win over Texas.

Miami Marlins starter Jose Urena rebounded with a quality start on Friday after picking up his eighth win of the season. Urena, who was rocked for five earned runs in just three innings during his previous start, allowed only one run and struck out four in a 3-1 Miami win on Friday. Urena is now 8-4 with a 3.86 ERA this season. He's been nearly unhittable on the road, compiling a 5-0 record and an insanely low 0.84 WHIP. He's already established himself as a terrific add on the waiver wire, especially when he's not pitching at Marlins Park.

Miami Marlins starter Jose Urena dazzled yet again on Tuesday as the Fish beat the Cardinals 5-2 in St. Louis. Urena allowed two earned runs on three hits in five innings to earn his seventh win of the season. He carried a no-hitter into the fifth inning before giving up a two-run homer in the frame, but the Marlins' offense gave him enough support the rest of the way. Urena has now won six of his last nine decisions and is 4-0 on the road this year. His surge has made him a "must-add" going forward as he continues to pile up wins.

Jose Urena will take the mound for the Miami Marlins on Tuesday against Lance Lynn and the Cardinals in St. Louis. Urena comes in with a 6-3 record and a 3.42 ERA and has been one of Miami's best pitchers this year. In his last four starts, Urena has allowed just six earned runs and has lowered his ERA from 3.70 to 3.42. If you're looking for a quality pitcher on the road, look no further than Urena, who is 3-0 with an incredible 0.75 WHIP away from Marlins Park. His 5.5 K/9 isn't anything spectacular, but he's proven how effective he can be on the road this season.

Miami Marlins starter Jose Urena was masterful again on Friday as he continues to surprise the baseball world. Urena threw six shutout innings against the Cubs, allowing only five hits and striking out three in the 2-0 victory. The young fireballer has been more than advertised for the Fish, who were hoping he'd thrive as a long reliever. Instead, they found themselves a quality starter. Urena is 6-2 with a 3.33 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP this year. He's allowed a combined three earned runs over his last 18 innings and has won five of his last seven decisions. It's hard to walk away from a potential waiver wire add like that.

While he's not the flashiest name out there, Miami Marlins starter Jose Urena has been incredibly effective this season. Urena nearly beat out fellow pitcher Adam Conley for the team's final rotation spot in Spring Training, though he's since become the team's No. 3 while Conley is back in the minors. On the season, Urena is 5-2 with a 3.70 ERA and a 1.29 WHIP. What's even more impressive is his 0.73 WHIP away from Marlins Park. Urena has also been the beneficiary of some incredible run support from the Marlins, a big reason why he's won four of his last five decisions. The Fish have averaged more than eight runs in Urena's last five trips to the mound, and he'll look for that same support when he takes the mound against the Braves in Atlanta on Sunday. If you're in need of a starter, Urena could make a difference in your lineup.

After failing to make the starting rotation out of spring training, Miami Marlins starting pitcher Jose Urena is showing the Marlins just how valuable he is. The starting pitcher, who will toe the slab against the Oakland A's at Marlins Park on Tuesday, has been a hidden gem for the Fish. He enters this game with a 4-2 record and a sub-4.00 ERA, very respectable numbers for a guy who had limited starting experience entering the season. Urena has also won three of his last four decisions, and the Marlins have won each of the last four games in which he's taken the mound. On Tuesday, he'll look to take advantage of an A's lineup that ranks 24th in runs scored.
