Ricky Nolasco allowed six runs in five innings as the Marlins lost to the Reds on Tuesday.
Nolasco surrendered two bases-loaded walks in the second inning before Xavier Paul broke the game open with a base-clearing double to cap the Reds' scoring. He settled down after that, but the damage was already done. Like most Marlins pitchers, Nolasco won't get many wins and should be largely ignored in fantasy realms. Since he will continue to pitch in real life, though, his next start will come Sunday against the Diamondbacks. May 14 - 11:31 PM

Ricky Nolasco struck out nine while allowing one run in seven innings Wednesday in a loss to the Padres.

Ricky is probably wishing he got that trade right about now; the Marlins have scored one or no runs in five of his eight starts this season, leaving him 2-4 despite a reasonable 3.72 ERA. He has a 34/11 K/BB ratio in 48 1/3 innings.

Ricky Nolasco served up three home runs, and allowed four runs on eight hits over six innings of work, in a losing effort against the Phillies on Friday.

Nolasco walked one and struck out four on the evening. Ryan Howard, Chase Utley and Domonic Brown all tallied solo shots to right field against him. He'll carry a 2-3 record and 4.14 ERA into Wednesday's start against the Padres in San Diego.

Ricky Nolasco won his second game Sunday, holding the Cubs to three runs over seven frames in the 6-4 victory.

Nolasco struck out only two, but he also gave up just four hits and two walks. Closer Steve Cishek allowed a leadoff homer in the ninth, but he then retired the next three batters to preserve the win. Nolasco has been a bright spot early on for the Fish, posting a solid 3.82 ERA and 1.19 WHIP over six starts. He has a tough matchup next weekend in Philly.

Ricky Nolasco allowed three runs -- two earned -- over five innings as the Marlins beat the Twins on Tuesday.

Nolasco helped the Marlins split the doubleheader with the Twins, as he limited Minnesota to six hits and a walk in his five innings. On a bad team and without much upside, Nolasco can be ignored outside of NL-only leagues. Nolasco will return to the mound Monday against the Mets.

Ricky Nolasco allowed four runs in six innings as the Marlins lost to the Nationals on Wednesday.

Nolasco wasn't awful, but Miami pitchers have little margin for error this year. He struck out six but surrendered seven hits, including a home run and triple to Kurt Suzuki. He next pitches Monday against the Twins.

Ricky Nolasco - S - Marlins

Ricky Nolasco pitched a solid ballgame in a no-decision against the Phillies on Friday, allowing just one run on seven hits over his six innings of work.

Nolasco walked one and struck out one in the contest. The only blemish against him was an RBI double from Domonic Brown in the sixth inning. While he has yet to end up in the win column, Nolasco owns a solid 3.12 ERA and 1.27 through his first two outings. He’ll look to keep things rolling when he takes on the Nationals at home on Wednesday.

Ricky Nolasco gave up three runs in 5 1/3 innings Saturday in a no-decision against the Mets.

Nolasco held the Mets to just one run over the first five innings, but he coughed up the lead when he gave up a two-run double to John Buck in the sixth. He struck out three and walked three before being pulled. Nolasco lines up to face the Phillies next Friday at home.

Ricky Nolasco - S - Marlins

Ricky Nolasco allowed two runs over six innings Monday in the Marlins' season-opening loss to the Nationals.

Both runs came on Bryce Harper solo blasts. Nolasco was fairly sharp otherwise, striking out five batters and yielding only one additional hit. He will face off against the Mets in his second outing of the 2013 season.

Ricky Nolasco - S - Marlins

Ricky Nolasco held the Mets to just one run over six innings Friday night.

Nolasco limited the Mets to just four hits, but he also issued two walks and hit two batters. Still, the Mets couldn't get much going against him. The 30-year-old right-hander holds a 3.48 ERA over five starts during Grapefruit League play and will get the call on Opening Day against the Nationals. Wins are going to be hard to come by with the weak-hitting Marlins' lineup, but Nolasco could become trade bait around midseason.

Ricky Nolasco blanked the Cardinals for six innings Sunday in the Marlins' 6-0 victory.

Nolasco was hit on the left arm by a Jon Jay comebacker on his very first pitch of the game, but he stayed in after a visit from the trainer and had a great day. His spring ERA dropped from 7.27 to 4.30.

Ricky Nolasco was lit up for seven runs and four homers in three innings by the Astros on Tuesday.

Carlos Pena, Brett Wallace, Matt Dominguez and Jason Castro all took Nolasco deep with the wind blowing out to left field today. We won't be too hard on him, not with it being his first poor outing in three starts this spring.

Ricky Nolasco was named the Marlins' Opening Day starter after striking out six in 3 2/3 innings against the Mets on Thursday.

Nolasco was charged with an unearned run in the game. It's the only run he's allowed in 5 2/3 innings this spring.

According to Jim Bowden of ESPN.com, the Marlins "would have interest in a Ricky Nolasco for Peter Bourjos-type deal."

It comes as no surprise, as the salary-dumping Marlins would surely be willing to deal their highest-paid player despite reports earlier this month saying they had no plans to do so. Nolasco's agent has said the righty wants to be traded, though they never made a formal request to the Marlins. Whether or not the Angels would be interested in doing such a deal isn't known. They might not view Nolasco as an upgrade over their current No. 5 starter options.

ESPN's Jayson Stark reports that the Marlins are telling teams that Ricky Nolasco won't be traded.

Nolasco's agent, Matt Sosnick, told ESPN's Jerry Crasnick that his client wants to be traded, though no formal request has been made to the team. However, the Marlins appear inclined to keep him, possibly because they don't want the MLBPA to get angry at their continued payroll stashing. Nolasco is owed $11.5 million in 2013 before hitting free agency.
