What It Means:

Nolasco endured a pair of comebackers in the seventh inning, prompting a meeting on the mound that culminated in the pitcher's departure. The Angels may have just been taking a conservating approach, as Nolasco was seen pacing around in the dugout after exiting. He kept the scoreboard clean through the first six innings while allowing five hits, striking out five, and walking two. With the win, Nolasco is now 3-9 in 16 starts this season. Consider him day-to-day for now.

Assuming the injury is a non-issue, numberFire's models project Nolasco to record a 4.84 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 15.7 strikeout percentage over 95 more innings this season while going 5-6.
