Jacob Turner fell to 0-3 after giving up four runs in 4 2/3 innings Sunday against the Astros.

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.

Jacob Turner yielded four runs in five innings Tuesday in a loss to the Cardinals.

In two Grapefruit League appearances, Turner has given up six earned runs and struggled with his command.

He'll look to get back on track in his start Tuesday against the Cardinals.
