Nelson was recalled from High-A Brevard County and will start Monday against the Cubs, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Nelson will return Monday to oppose Jacob Tuner, in what figures to be his final start before heading to the bullpen. Mike Fiers' emergence and Matt Garza's impending return from an oblique injury has the young right-hander as the odd man out, but Nelson still projects as a key rotation piece in years to come. Nelson has posted a 4.10 ERA and 1.35 WHIP in nine starts for Milwaukee, after going 10-2 with a 1.46 ERA in 17 appearances (16 starts) with Triple-A Nashville.
