Nelson will start Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Craig Counsell had previously indicated that Nelson would start one game of the twin bill, but didn't specify which one. After the team formally purchased Brandon Woodruff's contract from Triple-A Colorado Springs on Tuesday and named him the starter for Game 1, Nelson will be asked to handle the nightcap. Nelson is slated to match up with Marco Gonzales, who like Woodruff, is also making his first start of the season at the MLB level.
