EDGE Analysis

Monday marked the first time Nelson has thrown off a mound since going on the injured list with a left lumbar strain July 9. Though there was recently optimism that the right-hander could return to the active roster at the start of the current week, it now appears that he'll need more time before he's ready to rejoin the big club.
