Chen gets opening day start for Marlins, not Fernandez (Yahoo Sports)

Marlins newcomer Wei-Yin Chen will pitch on opening day instead of Miami ace Jose Fernandez, a decision designed to help manage the workload of the former NL Rookie of the Year from the start. Manager Don Mattingly said Sunday that Chen would pitch April 5 when the Marlins host Detroit. Fernandez will start the next day.
