Ryne Nelson - Page 7 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Logs first win Nelson (1-0) allowed one run on two hits and struck out three over three innings to pick up the win in Saturday's 5-4 victory over the Brewers.

Impact Nelson held Milwaukee mostly in check until the Diamondbacks rallied for five runs in the bottom of the ninth inning for the reliever's first win. Since an unsightly debut, Nelson has allowed one run on three hits while striking out seven over 8.1 innings. He was stretched out during spring training but lost out on a rotation spot, so the right-hander is making a living as a long reliever. If the Diamondbacks need a spot starter, it's probably reached the point where Nelson couldn't give them five innings, and he would need to build up in the event he was needed for multiple starts.

Logs first win Nelson (1-0) allowed one run on two hits and struck out three over three innings of relief to pick up the win in Saturday's 5-4 victory over the Brewers.

Impact Nelson held Milwaukee mostly in check until the Diamondbacks rallied for five runs in the bottom of the ninth inning, giving the right-hander his first win. Since an unsightly debut, Nelson has allowed one run on three hits while striking out seven over 8.1 innings as a multi-inning reliever. While he competed for a rotation spot in camp, if the Diamondbacks need a spot starter in the near future, he may not be a candidate as he likely wouldn't be able to last five innings without first being stretched back out.

Gurriel hits winning sacrifice fly as Diamondbacks score 5 in 9th to stun Brewers 5-4

Has ERA-corrective outing Nelson allowed one hit while striking out two over 2.1 scoreless innings in Thursday's 9-7 loss to the Yankees.

Impact Nelson was needed for length after the Yankees battered starter Merrill Kelly for nine runs in 3.2 innings. The long reliever was able to keep New York in check and dropped his ERA from 21.60 to 9.00. Nelson had a rough first appearance Opening Day (four runs, 1.2 innings) and sat on that for a week before Thursday's ERA correction. The right-hander was a key member of the Diamondbacks' rotation in 2024 and remains capable of being stretched out if needed as a starter.

Impact Nelson, who lost out on a bid as the No. 5 starter to Brandon Pfaadt, became the top long option out the bullpen following the news that Jordan Montgomery will undergo Tommy John elbow surgery. The Montgomery news also suggests that Nelson could be in line should a current member of the rotation require extended downtime due to injury. Nelson was a valued part of the rotation in 2024, when he improved in several underlying metrics (K:BB, K/9, BB/9, HR/9) compared to 2023.

Ryne Nelson Does Well Out of Bullpen, D-backs Beat White Sox In the final road game of the Cactus League, the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the White Sox 8-4 behind good offense and great pitching

MARCH 23, 2025 • SI.COM

Rotation bid falls short Nelson will begin the season working out of the bullpen as Brandon Pfaadt was named Arizona's No. 5 starter Sunday, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Nelson surrendered 10 earned runs across 11 innings during spring training, though nine of those runs were given up in a single appearance. The 27-year-old started in 25 of his 28 appearances for the Diamondbacks last season and had a 4.24 ERA and 126:34 K:BB over 150.2 innings.

Calm spring no longer Nelson allowed nine runs (eight earned) on 11 hits while striking out one over three-plus innings in Monday's spring start against Kansas City.

Impact Nelson's uneventful spring was turned on its head in his fourth spring outing (third start). He was responsible for runs all innings pitched and was chased after giving up four consecutive hits to lead off the fourth. Nelson, who was a rotation regular in 2024, is competing for the fifth spot this spring.

Makes second spring start Nelson allowed one run on three hits while striking out three over 2.1 innings in Thursday's spring start against the Guardians.

Impact Nelson toed the rubber for a second Cactus League start and worked up to 51 pitches (30 strikes). The battle for the final rotation spot kicked into high gear this week. Nelson followed Brandon Pfaadt, who started Wednesday, and Jordan Montgomery (finger) will make his spring debut Friday in what is expected to be a multi-inning relief appearance.

Logs two innings Friday Nelson allowed one hit and two walks while striking out one over two scoreless innings in Friday's spring game against Kansas City.

Impact Nelson, making his Cactus League debut, followed game starter Merrill Kelly, and pitched the third and fourth innings. Nelson was a mainstay in the rotation the last two seasons -- and showed improvement in 2024 -- but he enters the spring having to battle for a rotation spot for a third consecutive season. His scoreless outing follows a similar one Thursday from Brandon Pfaadt, who is also competing for the same rotation spot along with Jordan Montgomery.

Impact For Nelson, who was second among starters in innings pitched in 2024, to not have a spot on lock seems odd, but manager Torey Lovullo has a ridiculous amount of starting pitchers on hand. It starts with Zac Gallen, Corbin Burnes, Merrill Kelly and Eduardo Rodriguez. The last spot is coming down to Nelson, Brandon Pfaadt or Jordan Montgomery. Nelson and Pfaadt, who also has options left and led the Diamondbacks in innings in 2024, could start the year in the Aces' rotation.

Reinstated from IL The Diamondbacks reinstated Nelson (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Thursday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports

Impact Nelson threw 28 pitches in his second bullpen session Tuesday following his first session of 16 pitches. With his return coming near the close of the season, it seems Nelson will be used as a multi-inning reliever, but it is possible he may return as a starter. Yilber Diaz and Blake Walston were both optioned to Triple-A Reno on Thursday as part of a corresponding move.

Throws bullpen Tuesday Nelson (shoulder) threw 28 pitches in a bullpen session Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

Impact This was Nelson's second bullpen, after the right-hander threw a 16-pitch session Saturday. Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said the team is undecided about whether Nelson could return to the starting rotation or be used as a multi-inning reliever in the short term. With four games left in the regular season, it seems the bullpen would be Nelson's landing spot should he return during the regular season. He could continue in a multi-inning role should Arizona qualify for the postseason, when managers tend to limit starters' innings.

Throwing another bullpen Nelson (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a 25-pitch bullpen session Tuesday, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

Impact Nelson is working his way through right shoulder inflammation, which landed him on the 15-day injured list Sept. 14. Barring any setbacks Tuesday, the 26-year-old could be activated after a minimum-length stay, which would line him up for the weekend series against the Padres starting Friday. Manger Torey Lovullo told reporters Monday that whether Nelson operates as a starter or reliever will depend on what pitch count the right-hander can comfortably manage.

Throwing bullpen Saturday Nelson (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session Saturday, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Nelson has been on the injured list since last Saturday due to shoulder inflammation. The fact he's been cleared to return to a mound after just a week on the IL bodes well for his chances of being activated after a minimum-length stay, but he still has a few more boxes to check before the D-backs can pencil him back into their rotation.

Diamondbacks put RHP Ryne Nelson on injured list with right shoulder inflammation

The Arizona Diamondbacks have placed starting pitcher Ryne Nelson on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation

SEPTEMBER 14, 2024 • Associated Press

Lands on injured list The Diamondbacks placed Nelson on the 15-day injured list Saturday with right shoulder inflammation, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

Impact Nelson surrendered five earned runs over just 4.2 innings during his most recent outing Sunday, and his shoulder troubles may help explain his poor performance. The Diamondbacks are hopeful he'll be able to return to the rotation after a minimum-length stay on the injured list, though that won't be until the final series of the regular season. Until then, it's likely Jordan Montgomery returns from the bullpen to fill the fifth spot in Arizona's rotation.
