Nicasio (personal) is expected to miss his scheduled start Tuesday when the Pirates face the Giants, Bill Brink of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nicasio was placed on the restricted list Saturday as he had to leave the team to tend to a family matter. The Pirates organization appears to be preparing as though Nicasio won't be back with the team in time to start Tuesday's game, which would leave a hole in the rotation. Wilfredo Boscan, who is slated to start at Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, is a candidate to come up for a spot start in Nicasio's place.
