Ryne Nelson - Page 8 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Fades in fifth frame Nelson did not factor into the decision in Sunday's win over the Astros, allowing five runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four over 4.2 innings.

Impact Nelson was handed an eight-run lead through three frames and kept the Astros scoreless until Alex Bregman took him deep in the fourth for a two-run blast. He ran into more trouble in the fifth, leading to three more runs for the Astros and was pulled one out shy of being able to qualify for the win. Sunday's outing ended a streak of five straight quality starts for Nelson and was his first time allowing five runs since June 26. He now sits at a 4.33 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 125:34 K:BB in 147.2 innings and lines up for a start against the Brewers at home over the weekend.

Racks up nine strikeouts in win Nelson (10-6) got the win over the Giants on Tuesday, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out nine over 6.2 innings.

Impact The Giants scratched across a run against Nelson in the first and scored once more in the sixth with a solo home run by Matt Chapman. Nelson otherwise continued his brilliant run of starts, posting a fifth straight quality outing and ninth over his last 11 starts while tying his season-high with nine strikeouts. Since July 2, he holds a 2.76 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 75:14 K:BB in 75 innings. Before then, Nelson was sporting a 5.69 ERA and 1.57 WHIP in 14 starts. He'll look to keep rolling on in a projected road start against the Astros this weekend.

Another quality start Thursday Nelson didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Mets, allowing two runs on eight hits over 6.1 innings. He struck out four.

Impact The only damage against Nelson came on a pair of solo home runs, a Pete Alonso blast in the second inning and a Francisco Lindor shot to lead off the sixth. It's the fourth straight quality start for Nelson, who's pitched to a 2.76 ERA in his last 11 outings (68.1 innings) to solidify his spot in Arizona's rotation. Overall, the 26-year-old right-hander is 9-6 with a 4.22 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 112:30 K:BB across 136.1 innings this season. Nelson currently lines up to face the Giants on the road in his next start.

Picks up ninth win Nelson (9-6) got the win over the Red Sox's on Friday, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out seven over six innings.

Impact Nelson was impressive once again, picking up his third consecutive quality start in Friday's win over Boston. Nelson has looked great since the beginning of July, pitching to a 2.76 ERA with a 0.95 WHIP over his last 10 outings. The 26-year-old has struck out at least five batters in eight of those last starts and has six quality starts without a loss in that span. He's scheduled for a home start against the Mets next.

Remaining in rotation Nelson will remain in the Arizona rotation moving forward with the Diamondbacks electing to move Jordan Montgomery to the bullpen, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.

Impact Arizona is going back to a standard five-man rotation and will shift the struggling veteran Montgomery to relief rather than Nelson, who has posted a 2.73 ERA and 55:11 K:BB over 56 innings since the beginning of July. Nelson will start Friday's series opener in Boston.

Remaining in rotation Nelson will remain in the Diamondbacks' rotation following the demotion of Jordan Montgomery to the bullpen, John Gambadoro of 98.7 FM Phoenix reports.

AUGUST 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

AUGUST 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sharp again in no-decision Nelson did not factor into the decision in Friday's loss to the Rays, allowing one run on five hits and no walks over 6.1 innings. He struck out six.

Impact The Arizona right-hander secured his fourth quality start in six post-All-Star break outings with this 94-pitch performance. The lone blemish on Nelson's evening was a 379-foot solo shot by Dylan Carlson in the fifth inning. The 26-year-old has been brilliant in the second half, pitching to a 2.89 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 42:9 K:BB across 37.1 innings. Nelson doesn't currently have another start scheduled as manager Torey Lovullo has proposed moving the righty to the bullpen. However, given Nelson's stellar work of late, Lovullo might have difficulty removing him from the rotation.

AUGUST 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Getting start Friday Nelson is slated to start Friday's game against the Rays at Tropicana Field.

Impact Manager Torey Lovullo said earlier in the week that Nelson would be available out of the bullpen for Wednesday's game against the Rockies, but with the Diamondbacks not needing to use the right-hander in that contest, he'll slot back into the rotation Friday for his 21st start of the season. Lovullo noted that the Diamondbacks intend to scale back their rotation from six to five men following Friday's contest, so barring another starting pitcher falling victim to an injury, Nelson looks like he'll be headed back to the bullpen once he recovers from his start versus the Rays.

AUGUST 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Could be shifted to bullpen Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Monday that Nelson will be available out of the bullpen in Wednesday's game versus the Rockies, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

Impact Nelson will be ready in case it's an abbreviated start by Jordan Montgomery. If he's not needed, he will start Friday in Tampa Bay. If Nelson does start Friday, it could be his last one for a while, as Lovullo says the club would then go back to a five-man rotation. Lovullo wouldn't commit to Nelson being the one to lose his rotation spot when that time arrives, but he looks to be the most likely candidate. Nelson holds a 2.90 ERA and 49:11 K:BB over 49.2 innings since the beginning of July, so he certainly doesn't deserve a demotion. However, he could be the team's starter most equipped to handle a shift to relief.

Fans nine in no-decision Nelson did not factor into the decision in Friday's win over Philadelphia, allowing two runs on three hits and one walk over 7.1 innings. He struck out nine.

Impact The 26-year-old righty generated 14 whiffs en route to his nine punchouts, as he gathered his career-high eighth quality start of the season with this performance. Nelson impressively held a formidable Phillies lineup in check, with the only significant damage coming via a Bryce Harper 373-foot solo shot in the seventh inning. After pitching to a 4.98 ERA across 86.2 innings before the All-Star break, Nelson has been on a roll since, firing a 3.19 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 36:9 K:BB over 31 innings. Nelson is currently slated to make his next start against the Rays on the road.

AUGUST 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Yields four runs to Pirates Nelson didn't factor into the decision Sunday against Pittsburgh, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks across five innings. He struck out seven.

Impact Though Nelson didn't allow a home run, three of the six hits against him went for extra bases. The 26-year-old punched out at least seven batters for the third time in four appearances after having done so twice in his first 15 starts. Through 110.1 innings, Nelson has logged a 4.65 ERA and a 1.37 WHIP while compiling an 8-6 record. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Phillies on Friday.

AUGUST 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Brilliant in win over Nationals Nelson (8-6) got the win over the Nationals on Tuesday, allowing two hits and two walks while striking out nine over seven scoreless innings.

Impact Nelson was staked an 11-0 lead by the end of the third inning but never let up one bit. Both his nine strikeouts and seven innings pitched tied season highs and it was his second outing of the season of at least five scoreless frames. He gave up one run or fewer of four of his six starts in July, leading to a 2.41 ERA and .211 BAA. He also went at least five innings in every start, which is something he's wasn't able to do earlier in the season. The 26-year-old now owns a 4.53 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 79:26 K:BB in 105.1 innings and will look to keep rolling against the Pirates to begin next week.

Brilliant in win over Nationals Nelson (8-6) got the win over the Nationals on Tuesday, tossing a two-hit shutout while allowing two walks and striking out nine over seven innings.

Impact Nelson was staked an 11-0 lead by the end of the third inning but never let up one bit. Both his nine strikeouts and seven innings pitched tied season high's and it was his second shutout of the season when pitching at least five innings. He gave up one run or fewer of four of his six starts in July, leading to a 2.41 ERA and .211 BAA. He also went at least five innings in every start, which is something he's not been able to do all year long. The 26-year-old now owns a 4.53 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 79:26 K:BB in 105.1 innings and will look to keep rolling against the Pirates to begin next week.

Struggles in no-decision Nelson did not factor into the decision in a win over the Royals on Wednesday, allowing four runs on nine hits and two walks over six innings while striking out two.

Impact Nelson got knocked around throughout the contest, allowing multiple baserunners in five of his six innings of work. Three of the four runs he was charged with came across in the fourth after the right-hander surrendered a leadoff double to Michael Massey to open the frame before then allowing him to advance to third on a wild pitch. Nelson had not permitted more than three runs in any of his previous four starts this month, while his two strikeouts on the night marked his lowest total since June 20 against Washington. He still holds a 2.97 ERA in July after Wednesday's start and hasn't suffered a loss since June 26 against Minnesota.

Set to start opener versus Cubs Nelson will start Arizona's series opener on the road against the Cubs on Friday, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

Impact Nelson will get the ball first as the Diamondbacks come out of the All-Star break, carrying a 4.98 ERA and 6.1 K/9 over 86.2 innings in 17 appearances, including 15 starts, this season. With Jordan Montgomery (knee) returning to the rotation this week and Eduardo Rodriguez (shoulder) and Merrill Kelly (shoulder) on the horizon, Nelson will look to impress in his next few starts to solidify his spot in the team's starting rotation.

JULY 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Steady in no-decision Nelson allowed three runs on five hits and struck out five without walking a batter over seven innings in a no-decision versus the Blue Jays.

Impact After an inconsistent June, Nelson has settled down in July. He's allowed five runs and posted a 13:2 K:BB over 18.2 innings across his last three starts, though he has just one win in that span. The right-hander is nevertheless trending in the right direction, with his ERA now at 4.98 to go with a 1.42 WHIP and 59:20 K:BB over 86.2 innings this season.
