Brewers right-handed pitching prospect Jimmy Nelson tossed seven shutout innings for Triple-A Nashville on Monday, scattering four hits and two walks while striking out four batters. Nelson has not allowed a run over his last 21 2/3 innings, and is merely waiting for the call-up to become a permanent part of Milwaukee's rotation. He could take the place of Marco Estrada if he is removed from the rotation.
