Despaigne will start Thursday's game against the Phillies, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.

Despaigne was temporarily moved out of the bullpen to make a spot start last Saturday against the Padres, and after opening some eyes upon allowing only one run over six innings, it looks like he'll stick around in the rotation for now. Justin Nicolino was used in long relief earlier this week, so he'll presumably stick around in that capacity for the foreseeable future while Despaigne steps in as the team's fifth starter. At this point, Despaigne, who carries a 4.78 ERA and 5.3 K/9 rate over 276.2 career innings in the majors, shouldn't attract much interest outside of NL-only leagues as anything more than streaming option in deeper mixed formats.
