Jimmy Nelson News
According to manager Dave Roberts, Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Jimmy Nelson (elbow) will be shut down for throwing for "about 10 days." While the skipper couldn't elaborate on the situation, he did note that Nelson needs to restart his rehab process once he's given the green light to resume. The 33-year-old hasn't pitched at the Major League level since the 2021 season, where he appeared in 28 games and compiled a 1.86 ERA with 44 strikeouts. That said, Nelson doesn't have much value in any fantasy format, and that's not expected to change anytime soon.
Los 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.
Los 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.
