Nelson (elbow) was activated from the 60-day injured list Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson has battled injures all season, initially struggling in his return to the club from a shoulder injury in early June. Sidelined with an elbow injury since June 28, Nelson has thrown 17.1 innings since July 21 for Triple-A San Antonio, posting a 6.23 ERA and 1.67 WHIP with 29 strikeouts and 12 walks. While Nelson had been working multiple innings, his last two appearances have been briefer, so his role with the team to close the season remains uncertain.
