Ryne Nelson Getting Starting Nod
4 months agoArizona Diamondbacks pitcher Ryne Nelson will get the starting nod against the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday. Manager Torey Lovullo said earlier in the week that Nelson would be available out of the bullpen. The D-Backs didn't use him out of the pen which made him available to pitch in this game. Nelson allowed two earned runs while striking out nine batters over 7 1/3 innings of work during his latest start. He'll be a decent streaming option on Friday, but Nelson is likely headed to the bullpen after this start. Lovullo said the team plans to go down to a five-man rotation which probably means Nelson is the odd man out.
