Nick Nelson To Start Grapefruit League Opener
Nick Nelson will start the team's Grapefruit League opener at home against the New York Yankees on Saturday. In his first season with the Phillies in 2022, Nelson went 3-2 with a 4.85 ERA (3.04 FIP), 1.48 WHIP, one save and 22.6 percent strikeout rate in a career-high 68 2/3 innings over 47 appearances (two starts). There's a chance that the 27-year-old could make some spot starts again for the Phillies in 2023, but Nelson should serve mostly in a long-relief role out of the bullpen, giving him hardly any fantasy appeal.
