From Rotoworld: Nicolino worked six innings of one-run ball Sunday in the Marlins’ win over the Braves. Nicolino walked four and gave up six hits, but five of those hits were singles and the other was a double. The left-hander could get another turn in the Marlins’ rotation, but he’s not a recommended streaming option in standard fantasy leagues. This was his first start at the major league level in 2017 and he had a 4.46 ERA through seven appearances at Triple-A.
Wood ran his record to 4-0 with six scoreless innings in Saturday’s victory at Colorado. Wood allowed just five hits and a walk with 10 strikeouts in the impressive 88-pitch quality start. Manager Dave Roberts said this week that Wood would remain in the rotation when Rich Hill (blister) and Brandon McCarthy (shoulder) are healthy enough to return and the decision looks awfully sound. Wood is now 4-0 with an impressive 2.27 ERA.
