Giolito will start Sunday's game against the Padres, Mark Zuckerman of MASN reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Giolito will come up from Triple-A after the Nats announced earlier in the week that Reynaldo Lopez had been demoted, while Joe Ross remains on the DL. Giolito has made two starts for the Nationals this season, allowing a combined eight hits and four earned runs, including two home runs, across 7.2 innings. He fared well in his only Triple-A start of the season, allowing one run over 6.2 innings, after amassing a 3.17 ERA across 14 starts at Double-A. The Nats will need to make a corresponding move before officially recalling Giolito to the 25-man roster.
