Marlins' Jose Fernandez: Will move up to Thursday from Friday
Fernandez's next scheduled start will come Thursday against the Reds, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
Analysis:
The Marlins initially had Fernandez in line to take the hill for Friday's series opener against the Pirates, but the placement of starter Adam Conley (finger) on the DL forced the team to readjust its rotation. Fernandez probably gets a bit of an upgrade in matchup by taking on the last-place Reds rather than a more competitive Pirates squad, but the outing will still come on the road, where the Marlins ace hasn't been nearly as dominant this season. Over 55 innings on the road, Fernandez has a 3.93 ERA.
