Justin Nicolino News
The Cincinnati Reds claimed left-hander Justin Nicolino from the Miami Marlins on Sunday. He will represent the 39th man on Cincinnati's 40-man roster as they gear up for the start of the regular season. Nicolino, a former second-round draft pick, has not lived up to his draft status in his three-year MLB career. Over 50 appearances, Nicolino has a 10-13 record, 4.65 ERA, and just 26 strikeouts in 48 career innings. Nicolino should help bolster a Cincinnati bullpen that has been a problem spot for the team over the past few seasons.
The Miami Marlins will start Justin Nicolino on Saturday against the Rockies at Marlins Park. The lefty Nicolino is just another piece in the Marlins' game of pitching musical chairs as they desperately try to fill the spots left by injuries. Nicolino's last big-league start came on June 24 against the Chicago Cubs when he allowed two earned runs on seven hits in four innings. He'll counter against Colorado's Jeff Hoffman in a game that should feature plenty of runs.
Miami Marlins pitcher Justin Nicolino is scheduled to be called up to start Saturday's game against the Rockies. The Marlins needed another starter after Chris O'Grady got hurt and Nicolino will be activated from Triple-A New Orleans. Nicolino's star has fallen with the Marlins this season, as he is pitched just 20 1/3 innings and given up 16 runs (12 earned) over the course of five starts and one relief appearance. He should only be looked at in very deep NL-only leagues.
