Ryne Nelson Stats

Arizona Diamondbacks rookie right-hander Ryne Nelson (forearm) took a comebacker off his right forearm in the sixth inning of his latest start on Sunday against the San Diego Padres, but precautionary X-rays came back negative, and manager Torey Lovullo said on Monday that Nelson was feeling better and will stay in line to make his next start this weekend at home against the San Francisco Giants. The 24-year-old former second-round pick in 2019 has been very solid in his first three big-league starts, allowing just four runs (three earned) on nine hits while walking six and striking out 16 in 18 1/3 innings. His 3.76 FIP shows that a little regression could be coming to close out the end of his rookie season, but he should remain in the D-backs rotation the rest of the way.

The Arizona Diamondbacks selected the contract of right-hander Ryne Nelson from Triple-A Reno on Monday and placed infielder Yonny Hernandez (calf) on the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move after recalling him from Reno. Right-hander Luis Frias was also optioned to Reno. Nelson, the team's No. 8 prospect per MLB Pipeline, will be making his major league debut on Monday against the San Diego Padres after going 10-5 with a 5.43 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, 128 strikeouts and 47 walks in 136 innings over 26 starts for Reno this season. The 24-year-old will need to display better command in the big leagues if he wants to stick in Arizona's starting rotation the rest of the way. Nelson will be a very risky fantasy streamer in San Diego.

Arizona Diamondbacks pitching prospect Ryne Nelson got roughed up on Tuesday for Triple-A Reno. The right-hander lasted just 3 1/3 innings and allowed three hits, seven runs, four walks and struck out four in the contest. After excelling in his first two years as a professional, Nelson was promoted to Triple-A to open this year and has really struggled. For the season, Nelson is 2-4 with a 7.36 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in nine starts. It hasn't been the easy transition that Nelson has shown throughout his ascension in the farm system, but the 24-year-old will continue to work out the kinks in his game for Reno. When at his best, Nelson racks up plenty of strikeouts and throws an explosive fastball. The Diamondbacks are playing better than most expected, but it wouldn't be a surprise to see Nelson get an opportunity this summer with the club, pending he can improve from his slow start. He is just a name to monitor in dynasty leagues for now.
