Nicasio (personal) is expected to return to the team later in the week but it's unclear if he'll be ready to start Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nicasio was placed on the restricted list over the weekend as he had to leave the team to handle a family matter, which resulted in his turn in the rotation being skipped Tuesday. Wilfredo Boscan will start in Nicasio's place Tuesday, but if Nicasio does return to the team later in the week, he could theoretically rejoin the rotation Sunday. However, a decision on Nicasio's role moving forward won't likely be made until he officially returns to the Pirates.
