Nicasio will have his start skipped in the wake of Monday's rainout, Bill Brink of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nicasio recorded a quality start his last time out against Miami, but he had a brutal 6.75 ERA in May. As such, the Pirates will opt to skip Nicasio's scheduled Tuesday start and go with Jon Niese and Francisco Liriano for the remainder of the series Tuesday and Wednesday.
