Nelson has been dealing with a partially torn forearm flexor. He is trending in the right direction.

Ryne Nelson is scheduled to undergo an MRI on July 17 to evaluate the progress of his elbow recovery.

Nelson was placed on the injured list June 19 with a right UCL sprain after experiencing elbow discomfort while throwing a pitch during his June 16 outing. He has been shut down since, and the Diamondbacks are expected to provide an update on his recovery plan once they receive his MRI results.

Ryne Nelson (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day IL on Thursday.

This will open up a roster spot for the return of veteran outfielder Max Kepler from the restricted list. Nelson is dealing with a strained right elbow as well as a forearm injury. The righty is going to be out for an extended period, and he could end up missing the rest of the season.
