Ryne Nelson - Will get one more start Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Wednesday that Nelson is tentatively scheduled to start Friday's game against the Red Sox, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports. Impact Nelson will be available in relief Wednesday in Miami, if needed, but if he doesn't pitch then he will take the ball Friday. As things currently stand, it would be Nelson's final start before moving to the bullpen, as Lovullo plans to go back to a traditional five-man rotation. Nelson doesn't deserve the demotion, having posted a 2.73 ERA and 55:11 K:BB over 56 innings since the beginning of July.
