Miami Marlins to likely replace Jarred Cosart with Justin Nicolino

The Marlins will turn from one problematic starter to another potentially problematic pitcher.

The Miami Marlins pulled the trigger on a change in the starting rotation as part of a sea wave of moves shifting from veterans to younger talent. The Fish optioned Jarred Cosart to Triple-A New Orleans, and the likelihood is that they will replace him with current New Orleans starter Justin Nicolino.

There is no doubt about it: Cosart has not pitched well in three starts. He has eight strikeouts versus 15 walks in 74 batters faced. Even with two intentional free passes, that is a simply horrific line.
