The Dodgers will get back one of their bullpen pieces, as Juan Nicasio is set to return from the DL tomorrow. To open up a spot on the roster, the Dodgers optioned Yimi Garcia back to AAA.
Nicasio, who hit the DL with an oblique strain, hasn’t pitched since a scoreless outing in Pittsburgh on August 9. In 47 innings this season, Nicasio has a 3.06 ERA (2.65 FIP) and has a 10.0 K/9 rate. He’s only allowed a single homer this season and righties are hitting .168 this season against him.
