Ryne Nelson News
Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said that right-hander Ryne Nelson (elbow) will throw a bullpen session at Salt River Fields on Wednesday, and it sounds like it could be close to the minimum 15 days on the injured list for him. Nelson was hit by a comebacker on his elbow and was put on the 15-day injured list last week, but he appears to be making good progress and could be ready to return when he's eligible on May 4. The 26-year-old former second-round pick in 2019 out of Oregon should have a starting rotation spot waiting for him in Arizona when he's ready. In his first four starts this year in his third major-league season, Nelson has gone 1-2 with a 4.60 ERA and 1.53 WHIP with five walks and 13 strikeouts covering 15 2/3 frames.
Updating a previous report, Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Ryne Nelson (elbow) was removed from Thursday night's loss to the San Francisco Giants after two innings due to a right-elbow contusion that he suffered when he was hit by a comebacker. While Nelson looked to be in considerable pain after taking the shot to his pitching arm, it looks like he avoided any fractures or breaks to his elbow. That doesn't mean the 26-year-old won't have to go on the injured list, but for now, it appears Nelson has avoided a serious injury and has a good shot to make his next scheduled start for the D-backs. Coming into Thursday's start, his fourth of the season, the former second-rounder in 2019 out of Oregon had a 5.27 ERA and 1.61 WHIP with five walks and 13 strikeouts in 13 2/3 innings in starts against the Yankees, Braves and Cardinals.
Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Ryne Nelson (wrist) was removed from his start early on Thursday night against the San Francisco Giants in the second inning after taking a comebacker off his right wrist before recording the final out of the frame. Before hitting the showers early and likely going for an X-ray on his wrist, Nelson tossed two shutout innings with two hits allowed, no walks and no strikeouts to lower his season ERA to 4.60. He was replaced on the mound by left-hander Logan Allen. Fantasy managers wondering if the 26-year-old Nelson will be able to make his next start will need to check back later on Thursday night or Friday morning for more information on the severity of his injury. If Nelson needs a stint on the injured list, the D-backs could bring Tommy Henry back after just optioning him to Triple-A Reno.

Ryne Nelson made his MLB debut for the Diamondbacks in 2022 and in just three starts, looked like he belonged and now has a chance to get the fifth starter job in Spring. Nelson's Triple-A numbers last year weren't that impressive, with a 10-5 W-L record, 5.43 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 128 KS in 136.0 IP (26 starts). In Arizona, Nelson had a 1-1 W-L record, 1.47 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 16 Ks (18.1 IP). Nelson has four pitches he can call upon with a fastball that averaged 93 MPH last year and a curveball that acts as a strikeout pitch. Nelson's slider has improved over the last two years and could easily give Nelson a third above-average pitch. Last year can be considered a step backward for Nelson after having a 3.17 ERA over 116.1 IP across High-A and Double-A in 2021 but scouts still believe he can be a solid Major League starter. If Nelson can claim the fifth starter spot to begin the season, he could offer fantasy value in deeper leagues, although as with all prospects, growing pains are to be expected. He's currently projected to make ~20 starts regardless of how Spring goes so taking Nelson with your last pick of the draft certainly isn't a bad idea.
