Giolito was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday, Chelsea Janes of the Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Giolito will return to the big club and start Sunday's series finale against the Rockies. Giolito has pitched just 11 innings over three games with the Nationals this season, giving up six runs and posting a poor 5:9 K:BB in that time. In a corresponding move, Wilmer Difo was optioned to Double-A Harrisburg.
