The Philadelphia Phillies have traded Juan Nicasio to the St. Louis Cardinals.

Nicasio appeared in just two games with the Phillies since coming over from the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Since the trade came after the August 31 deadline, he won't be eligible for the postseason should the Cardinals make it.

In 67 appearances, Nicasio has a 2.79 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 61 strikeouts in 61 1/3 innings.
