Nix will be promoted from Triple-A El Paso to start Friday against the Phillies, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Nix is set to make his MLB debut after posting a pristine 1.84 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 44:9 K:BB across 58.2 innings between Triple-A and Double-A San Antonio. Given the Padres' lack of rotation depth, Nix could earn his stay with the big club if he holds his own Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Nix seems likely to assume the rotation spot of Walker Lockett, who started Aug. 4 against the Cubs in place of the injured Eric Lauer (forearm).

He had a 2.05 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 41:9 K:BB in 52.2 innings (nine starts) this season, but his 3.97 xFIP is probably a better barometer for how he was pitching.
