Availability
Ryne Nelson is scheduled to undergo an MRI on July 17 to evaluate the progress of his elbow recovery.
Fantasy Impact
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.
Fantasy Impact
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.
Ryne Nelson told reporters he will be shut down for several weeks.
Fantasy Impact
Nelson added that his Flexor Tendon is strained but not torn. He will likely be sidelined through the All-Star break.
Ryne Nelson was diagnosed with a partially torn flexor on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Nelson will surely be heading to the injured list with this injury, but the exact timetable for return is currently unknown. Yilber Diaz is being called up to the MLB club in a corresponding move. Nelson has a 4.97 ERA and 62 strikeouts in 83 1/3 innings this season.
Ryne Nelson allowed seven runs on eight hits, walked one, and struck out two in four innings of work on Wednesday. Arizona suffered an 8-0 loss to Miami.
Fantasy Impact
Nelson started off well, facing one batter over the minimum in the first two innings. The righthander allowed a single run in the third, but then was tagged for six runs in the fourth as the Marlins blew the game open. Five of the six runs came on a pair of homers - a two-run shot by Owen Caissie and a three-run blast by Kyle Stowers. Nelson entered Wednesday's contest having pitched to a 2.89 ERA over his previous seven starts. However, he has struck out three batters or fewer in five consecutive outings. He'll take a 2-5 record and a 5.19 ERA into his next start against the Angels on Monday.
