Nelson (shoulder) will make a rehab appearance for Triple-A San Antonio in the second week of the minor-league season, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson battled minor forearm and elbow setbacks while recovering from the shoulder surgery which cost him the entirety of 2018, leading to a trip to the injured list to start the year. Assuming he makes at least two rehab appearances, he won't be ready for big-league action until mid-April, though the club hasn't specified a target date for his return.
