Nicolino was recalled from Triple-A New Orleans in order to start Wednesday's game, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
As expected, Nicolino received the call to the big leagues in order to join the Marlins rotation. He'll start opposite Scott Kazmir of the Dodgers in his 2016 debut. Nicolino has a good shot at sticking in the Miami rotation, although his historically low strikeout rates will hinder his ability to garner very much fantasy value. To make room for him on the 25-man roster, right-hander Nick Wittgren was optioned to Triple-A New Orleans.
