Kyle Nelson

The Arizona Diamondbacks have optioned Kyle Nelson to Triple-A Reno.

Fantasy Impact

Nelson is healthy again after missing most of the 2024 season while recovering from thoracic outlet syndrome surgery. However, he struggled this spring, allowing eight earned runs and four walks over 5.2 innings. He'll look to find his groove at Triple-A and position himself as a potential bullpen option for the Diamondbacks later this season.

D-backs left-hander Kyle Nelson is expected to be ready for Opening Day following May 6 Thoracic Outlet surgery.

Fantasy Impact

The issue limited Nelson to just 11 relief outings in 2024 while working to a 4.22 ERA in that time. He will be an important piece as a lefty out of the D-backs bullpen in 2025.

Kyle Nelson (shoulder) will likely be out for the remainder of the season after his surgery, per manager Torey Lovullo.

Fantasy Impact

Nelson is on the 60-day IL with an injured left shoulder. He is expected to have thoracic outlet syndrome surgery on May 6.

Kyle Nelson (shoulder) was moved to the 60-day IL Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

Nelson continues to receive second opinions on how to move forward with his injured shoulder. The move clears a roster spot for Brandon Hughes.

Arizona Diamondbacks RP Kyle Nelson pitched one inning on Monday, striking out two, and allowing one hit for zero earned runs in the Diamondbacks' 4-3 win over the Marlins.

Fantasy Impact

Nelson has appeared in 11 games so far this season and has an ERA of 1.64 with a WHIP of 0.64. Monday's game was the first win for Nelson and he is not worth a look in fantasy due to not having many opportunities for wins or saves as he has zero saves this season.
