PHOENIX -- Mariners manager Scott Servais called Juan Nicasio one of the "most unlucky" pitchers in the Majors this season. And the right-hander's fortune just got worse.
Servais announced on Sunday that Nicasio will undergo season-ending surgery on his right knee to have it "cleaned up." Nicasio went on the disabled list on Aug. 3 with inflammation and got a second opinion earlier this week before deciding on surgery.

"Juan is our most unlucky pitcher by far, one of the most unlucky in the big leagues this year, just batting average on ball in play," Servais said.
