6 years agoMilwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jimmy Nelson will make his first MLB appearance since September 8, 2017 on Wednesday against the Miami Marlins. Miami is sending out a nearly identical lineup to the one that scored 16 runs on Tuesday, with catcher Bryan Holaday behind the dish instead of Jorge Alfaro as the only change. That said, it's the time off, not any sudden potency in the Miami lineup, that makes Nelson a risky play in both standard leagues and DFS Wednesday. However, he should certainly be rostered at this point after posting a 12-6 record, 3.49 ERA, and 199 strikeouts in 175 1/3 innings in 2017.--Nathaniel Green

2 years agoLos Angeles Dodgers right-hander Jimmy Nelson (elbow) has begun a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday. He walked one, gave up a single, but didn't allow a run to score and struck out a batter in one inning, according to Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register. Nelson hasn't pitched in the Majors since 2021, where he posted a 1.86 ERA and a 37.9% strikeout rate across 28 games and one start. When the 33-year-old does return, fantasy managers should expect him to be in the bullpen again, as he hasn't been a full-time starter since 2017. Nelson can stay on the waiver wire unless manager Dave Roberts starts to use him in a high-leverage role.--Spencer Seguin

2 years agoLos Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Jimmy Nelson (elbow) won't be ready for the beginning of the year. Nelson has been pitching in spring training as he makes his way back from Tommy John, but he isn't ready for regular season game action yet. After missing all of 2022, Nelson signed a big-league deal with the Dodgers this offseason and will be an intriguing bullpen piece when healthy. With great ratios in 2021, he could be useful in deeper leagues or ones that count holds as a stat.--Justin Raffone - RotoBaller

2 years agoFree-agent pitcher Jimmy Nelson is reportedly rejoining the Los Angeles Dodgers on a major-league deal, per a tweet from The Athletic's Fabian Ardaya. Per Ardaya's tweet, Nelson will earn $1.2 million "with a chance to make $4 million with bonuses." Nelson spent the 2022 season on the injured list with the Dodgers after undergoing Tommy John surgery and needing a flexor tendon repair in 2021. The 33-year-old pitched to a 1.86 ERA, a 1.89 FIP, 44 strikeouts, 13 walks, six holds and a win in 29 innings spanning 28 appearances for the National League West club that year. He'll provide the Dodgers with another late-inning, high-leverage relief option for the 2023 season.--Ben Rosener - RotoBaller

2 years agoThe Los Angeles Dodgers declined relief pitcher Jimmy Nelson's $1.1 million club option Tuesday, per MLB's Thomas Harrigan. Nelson underwent Tommy John surgery in August 2021 and did not pitch in 2022, but recorded a solid 1.86 ERA and 37.9% strikeout rate in 29 innings pitched out of the bullpen prior to the surgery. The 33-year-old has a serviceable career 4.12 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, and 21.8% strikeout rate, so he will try to join a team in need of some bullpen support.--Connelly Doan - RotoBaller
