Nick Nelson News
The Philadelphia Phillies acquired right-handed relief pitcher Nick Nelson and minor league catcher Donny Sands from the New York Yankees on Friday in exchange for minor league infielder T.J. Rumfield and left-hander Joel Valdez. Nelson, 25, was 0-2 with an 8.79 ERA in two starts and nine relief appearances with the Yankees last season, striking out 22 hitters in 14 1/3 innings of work. With Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre over five starts and 24 relief outings, he went 3-4 with a 3.81 ERA. In just two big league seasons, Nelson has a 6.43 ERA. The move was mostly made because the Yankees were short 40-man roster spots to protect prospects ahead of the Rule 5 draft.
New York Yankees pitcher Nick Nelson was sent down to the team's alternate site following Sunday's loss to the Indians. Nelson pitched against Cleveland on Sunday, allowing a fair amount of hard contact while surrendering three runs to bring his season ERA to 9.23. Manager Aaron Boone spoke about getting Nelson back on track and throwing strikes. The Yankees are expected to call up Deivi Garcia for a spot start on Monday against the Orioles.
New York Yankees pitcher Nick Nelson took the loss in Friday's 8-2 defeat at the hands of the Rays. Nelson served as an opener for New York, pitching one inning and allowing two runs on two hits with a pair of walks and strikeouts. Command was an issue for the 25-year-old, as 15 of his 30 pitches went for strikes. Nelson likely won't make too many starts like this, as it was a move meant to preserve the arms in the Yankees' rotation, meaning the former will return to a more standard bullpen role moving forward. After a promising spring, Nelson has taken a step back in the early going, as he owns a 10.80 ERA in five innings of work in 2021.
