Manager Craig Counsell said Nelson looked great during a bullpen session Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson briefly shut down his throwing program earlier in the week after tweaking his forearm, but he appears to be back on track. Assuming everything checks out OK in the coming days, the right-hander is expected to progress to live batting practice sometime early next week. Barring any setbacks, Nelson remains on track to be ready for the start of the season.
