Miami Marlins fans are about a week away from seeing how Jose Urena, the team’s Opening Day starter, handles the closer’s role out of the bullpen.
Joe Frisaro of MLB.com wrote what we already knew was brewing within the organization – that after a long stay on the team’s Injured List for a herniated disc, Urena will be given the chance to nail down the closer’s role in the final month of the season and potentially the 2020 season as well.
The Marlins may have looked to trade Urena prior to the deadline this season if not for the back injury.
