Doug Nikhazy will serve as the 27th man for Saturday’s doubleheader against the Red Sox.
Nikhazy will take the ball for his major-league debut during the second game of Saturday’s doubleheader against the Red Sox. The 25-year-old lefty gets the promotion after compiling a respectable 3.44 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 22/7 K/BB ratio across 18 1/3 innings for Triple-A Columbus. He’s not a recommended streaming option for fantasy purposes and will likely head back to the minors at the conclusion of the twin bill.
