• Dodgers' Nick Nastrini: Claimed by Dodgers

  07/11/2025 • By RotoWire

  The Dodgers claimed Nastrini off waivers Friday. Nastrini joins his third organization in just two weeks, going from the White Sox to Miami to the Dodgers. The 25-year-old hasn't appeared in an MLB game this season, and he's struggled in Triple-A, owning a 7.58 ERA and 49:43 K:BB across 46.1 innings. The Dodgers' staff has been ravaged by injuries, so Nastrini could be needed to eat some innings as a long reliever, but he's likely to spend most of his time in the minors. Noah Davis was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

• White Sox's Nick Nastrini: Misses out on Opening Day roster

  03/11/2025 • By RotoWire

  The White Sox optioned Nastrini to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday. Though Nastrini has pitched reasonably well this spring (3.52 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 6:2 K:BB in 7.2 innings), his poor body of work at the big-league level last season likely played a significant part in the White Sox's decision to remove him from the competition for the Opening Day rotation. The 25-year-old righty turned in an ugly 7.07 ERA and 36:26 K:BB while allowing seven home runs over his 35.2 innings with the White Sox in 2024. He'll need to make stark improvement with his walk rate at Charlotte this season before he gets another look in the big-league rotation.

• White Sox's Nick Nastrini: Sent to Triple-A

  09/10/2024 • By RotoWire

  The White Sox optioned Nastrini to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday. The right-hander worked as a bulk reliever Monday against the Guardians and delivered his best outing of the campaign with 3.1 scoreless innings, but he'll still lose his place on the MLB roster. Nastrini hasn't been effective in his nine big-league appearances (eight starts) this season and has a 7.07 ERA, 1.91 WHIP and 26:36 K:BB in 35.2 innings.

• White Sox's Nick Nastrini: Set to pitch Monday in bullpen day

  09/09/2024 • By RotoWire

  Interim manager Grady Sizemore said Saturday that Nastrini will be available in relief Monday in what's expected to be a bullpen day in the White Sox's series opener versus the Guardians, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. Sizemore hasn't officially pulled the plug on Nastrini as the fifth member of the rotation, but the rookie right-hander will look to turn in better results in relief after posting a 7.79 ERA and 24:32 K:BB in 32.1 innings through his first eight big-league starts. Jared Shuster is slated to open the contest and has worked at least four innings over four of his 37 appearances this season between the majors and Triple-A, so Nastrini could end up piggybacking Shuster rather than serving as a true bulk reliever Monday.

• White Sox's Nick Nastrini: Getting another start Tuesday

  09/01/2024 • By RotoWire

  Nastrini is scheduled to start Tuesday's game against the Orioles at Camden Yards, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. Unsurprisingly, Nastrini will be handed a second turn through the White Sox rotation after he delivered his first career quality start Thursday against the Rangers following his promotion from Triple-A Charlotte. Though he limited Texas to just one run over six innings in a losing effort, Nastrini's overall numbers through seven starts in the big leagues this season (7.04 ERA, 1.73 WHIP and 22:26 K:BB in 30.2 innings) don't inspire much confidence in his fantasy prospects moving forward.
