Sent to Triple-A
The Pirates optioned Nicolas to Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
He's the odd man out of the bullpen with Dennis Santana (personal) getting reinstated from the bereavement list. Since being called up from Indianapolis on April 11, Nicolas had submitted a 10.57 ERA, 2.35 WHIP and 6:8 K:BB over 7.2 innings while working in lower-leverage situations.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
In most senses, Nicolas had a disappointing 2023 season. He started the campaign by repeating work at Double-A Altoona and had limited success. He was promoted to Triple-A Indianapolis anyway, but after further struggles, he was switched from a starting to relief role. That also didn't prove to be a path to success, but Nicolas was promoted to the major-league roster. That was the positive to his campaign, and he'll now have the chance to compete for a bullpen role in spring training.
