Miami Marlins to give Jose Urena extended look
The 23-year old was expected to be demoted when David Phelps was activated from the paterinity list.
Jose Urena was not in the Miami Marlins' original plans to begin the 2015 campaign. But things have changed, and the pitching prospect now has an opportunity to impress the club at the major league level.
Miami placed Henderson Alvarez, Don Kelly, and Jeff Mathis on the 15-day disabled list on Monday, and in the corresponding moves recalled Reid Brignac, J.T. Realmuto, and Carter Capps. David Phelps was placed on the paternity list to complete Miami's Monday moves, and Urena, who took his spot on the 25-man roster, was expected to be demoted when Phelps was activated.
