What It Means:

Nicolino was sent down earlier in June, while Paul Clemens was called up. However, Clemens was lost on waivers and now Nicolino is granted with another trip to the mound for Miami.

The 24-year-old southpaw is 2-4 through 10 starts this season. He's recorded a 5.17 ERA and 1.54 WHIP across 55 2/3 innings. Nicolino is striking out 4.37 batters per nine frames, which is actually a significant improvement over last year, when he was fanning 2.80 hitters per nine innings.
