Kicks off rehab assignment Nelson (elbow) struck out two over a scoreless inning for Single-A Visalia on Saturday.

Impact Nelson began a rehab assignment with the Rawhide and set down the side in order in the first inning. Although he opened the season as a starter for the Diamondbacks, the club plans to have him pitch out of the bullpen over the final month of the regular season. MLB.com targets the right-hander's possible return for Friday, when the Diamondbacks begin a homestand against the Rangers.

Cleared for rehab games Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Wednesday that Nelson (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Single-A Visalia on Saturday, Alex D'Agostino of SI.com reports.

Impact Lovullo also noted that Nelson -- who has been sidelined since late June with a right elbow strain -- is likely to be used out of the bullpen when he returns. Coming back as a reliever should shorten Nelson's rehab assignment, though he figures to require additional rehab outings after Saturday.

Faces hitters Tuesday Nelson (elbow) threw live batting practice Tuesday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact Tuesday marks the first time Nelson has faced hitters since he landed on the injured list back in June with a strained right elbow. He threw 21 pitches during his first live session but is expected to be brought back as a reliever, so he won't need to spend time building up his workload. The 28-year-old righty said he is hopeful to begin pitching in rehab games soon, though the Diamondbacks haven't indicated when he might begin a minor-league assignment.

Begins bullpen progression Nelson (elbow) threw 25 pitches in the bullpen Friday, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.

Impact If Nelson comes out of Friday's session without issue, the right-hander will throw another one Tuesday. The Diamondbacks are leaning toward bringing Nelson back as a reliever, which will require a shorter ramp-up, as both Corbin Burnes (elbow) and Zac Gallen (elbow) are ahead of him.
