Jimmy Nelson Fantasy Stats

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.

Free-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.

The 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.

The Los Angeles Dodgers re-signed relief pitcher Jimmy Nelson to an undisclosed deal on Tuesday. Nelson's deal is a major league contract with a team option for 2023. The 32-year-old veteran had elbow surgery last August but was solid before the injury, posting a 1.86 ERA and 0.93 WHIP with 44 strikeouts and 13 walks in 29 innings over 28 appearances (one start) in his first season in LA. Nelson missed all of the 2018 and 2020 seasons due to injury and has pretty much become a full-time reliever at this point in his career. He's fanned at least 10 hitters per nine innings in each of his last three seasons, but Nelson won't carry any fantasy value unless he's starting games again, which is unlikely.

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Jimmy Nelson (elbow) will undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery, according to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. Nelson finishes the year with a 1-2 record. 1.86 ERA, 0.931 WHIP and 37.9 percent strikeout rate over 29 innings of work, and he can now be safely dropped in all redraft formats.

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Jimmy Nelson (elbow) was placed on the 10-day injured list with right elbow inflammation on Wednesday. He returned from the injured list on July 25 and tossed three innings before landing on the shelf again. The severity of Nelson's injury is unknown at this time, and he's considered day-to-day. The 32-year-old has now been placed on the injured list three times this season. Nelson owns a terrific 1.86 ERA, 0.93 WHIP, and a 44:13 K: BB across 27 innings in 2021. Pitcher Darien Nunez was recalled in a corresponding move.

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Jimmy Nelson (back) could be activated from the 10-day injured list either Sunday or Tuesday. He will throw a simulated game on Thursday, and how he responds will determine what day the right-hander returns. Nelson has been sidelined since early July with a left lumbar strain. The 32-year-old owns a terrific 2.00 ERA, 0.93 WHIP, and a 41:13 K: BB across 27 innings in 2021. Nelson has been used out of the bullpen this season and mainly provides fantasy value in leagues that reward holds.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Jimmy Nelson (back) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday. The 32-year-old right-hander is experiencing a left lumbar strain, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reported. This isn't the first time Nelson has battled injuries this season, having missed a couple of weeks earlier in the year with right forearm inflammation. Nelson has been solid when healthy, recording a 2.00 ERA with 41 strikeouts and a 0.93 WHIP through 27 innings pitched, so fantasy managers should be on the lookout for when he returns, if he's in the starting rotation. Alex Vesia was recalled to fill in for the Dodgers suddenly depleted rotation. Vesia hasn't tallied a win at the big-league level this season and is sporting a 5.91 ERA.
