Fernandez had compiled a 4-0 record and 2.30 ERA this season as he returned from Tommy John surgery.
Nicolino pitched 4.0 innings in his most recent start, surrendering five runs, striking out two and walking one in a 7-1 defeat to the Dodgers.

The Marlins have had an abysmal season – they have the worst record in baseball – and Jennings’ lack of experience as a manager could have something to do with it. Jennings had never managed a team beyond the high school level before the 2015. He flew home to Miami on Saturday to get checked by team physician Dr. Lee Kaplan, who didn’t find anything structurally wrong with his surgically repaired arm. “It’s taken some time for him to get his feet on the ground here, but today is a glimpse of what that potentially could be”.
The Marlins begin a home series with the Boston Red Sox Tuesday night, where they are now slight +102 underdogs.
Another big night from Nick Markakis helped Atlanta stay ideal in the middle of the four-game series against the Miami Marlins.
The Miami Marlins are just 1-7 in their last eight home games, getting outscored 48-21 in the process. Over his last 19 games, Swihart is slashing.303/.313/.409 with five doubles and seven RBIs.
– Aside from standout performances from Bradley and Castillo, the Red Sox also saw consistency this past weekend in the form of Xander Bogaerts. The Red Sox pitching staff has an ERA of 4.53 with the starters at 4.82 and the bullpen at 4.02.
