The Dodgers claimed Nastrini off waivers Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Nastrini joins his third organization in just two weeks, going from the White Sox to Miami to the Dodgers. The 25-year-old hasn't appeared in an MLB game this season, and he's struggled in Triple-A, owning a 7.58 ERA and 49:43 K:BB across 46.1 innings. The Dodgers' staff has been ravaged by injuries, so Nastrini could be needed to eat some innings as a long reliever, but he's likely to spend most of his time in the minors. Noah Davis was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

The Marlins designated Nastrini for assignment Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The move frees a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Tyler Zuber, whom the Marlins claimed off waivers from the Mets. Nastrini himself was a waiver claim by the Marlins just last week, and he will go back on waivers after making just one appearance with Triple-A Jacksonville.

The Marlins claimed Nastrini off waivers from the White Sox and optioned him to Triple-A Jacksonville.
EDGE Analysis
Nastrini has struggled mightily at Triple-A Charlotte this season, posting a 7.51 ERA and 48:39 K:BB over 44.1 innings. He also managed just a 7.07 ERA and 26:36 K:BB in 35.2 frames at the big-league level in 2024. However, Nastrini is still just 25 and was a fairly well-thought-of prospect at one time, so the Marlins felt he was worth a waiver claim.

Triple-A Charlotte placed Nastrini on the 7-day injured list Thursday due to an unspecified injury.
EDGE Analysis
Nastrini made eight starts for the White Sox as a rookie in 2024, and though he still has a spot on the organization's 40-man roster, he's pitched exclusively in the minors in 2025. The right-hander posted a 7.24 ERA through his first seven outings of the season at Charlotte and hadn't displayed much improvement since shifting to the bullpen in early May. Nastrini had turned in a 5.94 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 24:16 K:BB in 16.2 innings over his last 11 appearances prior to landing on the shelf.

The White Sox optioned Nastrini to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Though Nastrini has pitched reasonably well this spring (3.52 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 6:2 K:BB in 7.2 innings), his poor body of work at the big-league level last season likely played a significant part in the White Sox's decision to remove him from the competition for the Opening Day rotation. The 25-year-old righty turned in an ugly 7.07 ERA and 36:26 K:BB while allowing seven home runs over his 35.2 innings with the White Sox in 2024. He'll need to make stark improvement with his walk rate at Charlotte this season before he gets another look in the big-league rotation.

The White Sox optioned Nastrini to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander worked as a bulk reliever Monday against the Guardians and delivered his best outing of the campaign with 3.1 scoreless innings, but he'll still lose his place on the MLB roster. Nastrini hasn't been effective in his nine big-league appearances (eight starts) this season and has a 7.07 ERA, 1.91 WHIP and 26:36 K:BB in 35.2 innings.

Interim manager Grady Sizemore said Saturday that Nastrini will be available in relief Monday in what's expected to be a bullpen day in the White Sox's series opener versus the Guardians, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sizemore hasn't officially pulled the plug on Nastrini as the fifth member of the rotation, but the rookie right-hander will look to turn in better results in relief after posting a 7.79 ERA and 24:32 K:BB in 32.1 innings through his first eight big-league starts. Jared Shuster is slated to open the contest and has worked at least four innings over four of his 37 appearances this season between the majors and Triple-A, so Nastrini could end up piggybacking Shuster rather than serving as a true bulk reliever Monday.

Nastrini (0-7) took the loss Tuesday against the Orioles, allowing seven runs (four earned) on four hits and six walks over 1.2 innings. He struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
After allowing just two runs over his last two starts (10.1 innings), Nastrini fell back to earth in Baltimore in an ugly outing. Command continues to be an issue for the rookie right-hander -- Nastrini's now averaging 8.91 BB/9 through his first 32.1 innings. Overall, his ERA is up to 7.79 with a 1.95 WHIP and 24:32 K:BB through eight starts with the White Sox. If Chicago elects to give Nastrini another turn in the rotation, he'll line up for a home matchup early next week against the Guardians.

Nastrini is scheduled to start Tuesday's game against the Orioles at Camden Yards, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Unsurprisingly, Nastrini will be handed a second turn through the White Sox rotation after he delivered his first career quality start Thursday against the Rangers following his promotion from Triple-A Charlotte. Though he limited Texas to just one run over six innings in a losing effort, Nastrini's overall numbers through seven starts in the big leagues this season (7.04 ERA, 1.73 WHIP and 22:26 K:BB in 30.2 innings) don't inspire much confidence in his fantasy prospects moving forward.

Nastrini (0-6)allowed one run on three hits and a walk over six innings Thursday, striking out three and taking a loss against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Nastrini had the best start of his young career on Thursday but still came away with a hard luck loss against the Rangers. Nastrini pitched six innings for the first time this season, but he now has six losses in seven career starts. The 24-year-old has allowed three hits or less in five of his seven starts but has struggled with his control. Nastrini had more walks than innings pitched coming into Thursday's game, so only allowing one walk is a welcome sight.
