Jimmy Nelson In The Midst Of A Rehab Assignment
2 years agoLos Angeles Dodgers right-hander Jimmy Nelson (elbow) has begun a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday. He walked one, gave up a single, but didn't allow a run to score and struck out a batter in one inning, according to Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register. Nelson hasn't pitched in the Majors since 2021, where he posted a 1.86 ERA and a 37.9% strikeout rate across 28 games and one start. When the 33-year-old does return, fantasy managers should expect him to be in the bullpen again, as he hasn't been a full-time starter since 2017. Nelson can stay on the waiver wire unless manager Dave Roberts starts to use him in a high-leverage role.
