Back in majors
The Pirates recalled Nicolas from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday.
Analysis
Nicolas will rejoin the Pirates' bullpen after the team shipped Taylor Rogers and David Bednar elsewhere prior to Thursday's trade deadline. Nicolas has coughed up 10 earned runs over 12 innings in the majors and will likely work in low-leverage spots while in Pittsburgh.

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.
