Rockies designate Juan Nicasio for assignment
Chris Humphreys-USA TODAY Sports
Colorado Rockies right-hander Juan Nicasio was designated for assignment Thursday.
Analysis:
Nicasio owns an unsightly 5.03 ERA over 88 big league appearances, so the Rockies decided to remove him from the 40-man roster. His next step will be based on whether or not he clears waivers.
