Nolasco gave up three runs and four hits in with a strikeout and a walk in 1.1 innings in his spring debut Friday.
Nolasco is competing with Tommy Milone and Trevor May for the final spot in the rotation. While it's just one outing, Nolasco likely needs to make a statement early in spring training to win the job, so any bad outing won't help. At least he's healthy after missing four months due to an ankle injury at the end of last season.
