Nelson signed a minor league deal with the Nationals on Sunday, James Wagner of the Washington Post reports. Nelson won't have many avenues to the Washington infield that don't include a combination of injuries to Anthony Rendon, Yunel Escobar, or Danny Espinosa. He had a disastrous stint with Milkwaukee's Triple-A affiliate, hitting .143/.200/.243 in 754 plate appearances, but expect him to land at Triple-A Syracuse for the Nats.
