Nelson (elbow) will be activated off the 60-day injured list Sunday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson was eligible to come off the shelf Aug. 27, but the Brewers will wait to make the move until rosters expand Sunday. The 30-year-old struggled in his brief return to the majors earlier this season, posting an 8.36 ERA, 2.29 WHIP and 15:14 K:BB over 14 innings. Nelson hasn't worked more than three innings in an outing during his rehab stint, and it's not clear what his role will be upon his return.
