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.

Nelson (elbow) will be considered for a September call-up, Rich Rovito of AP Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nelson is eligible to be activated from the 60-day injured list Aug. 27, though it's unclear if he'll return to the big leagues this season. If he is promoted, it'll likely happen in September when rosters expand.

Nelson (elbow) threw a scoreless inning of relief in a game with Triple-A San Antonio on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
It's been a rough season for Nelson, but he is showing signs of getting back on track, allowing just one hit while posting an 8:2 K:BB in 3.2 innings over his last three appearances with San Antonio. Nelson has not thrown more than 1.2 innings in an outing since his last appearance in the big leagues June 25, so if he does return to Milwaukee before the season ends, it's looking like it will be in a bullpen role.

Nelson (elbow) was shifted to the 60-day injured list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Nelson was placed on the shelf June 28, so following this move, he'll remain sidelined at least until the end of August. He's been pitching in the minors on a rehab assignment since July 17, though the Brewers evidently aren't confident he'll be ready to return until the final month of the 2019 campaign.

Nelson (elbow) will make his next rehab appearance Wednesday for Triple-A San Antonio, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nelson started his rehab stint Sunday with Low-A Wisconsin, surrendering a run over one inning of work. The fact that he's being moved up to Triple-A likely means he's on the brink of being activated, though Milwaukee has yet to issue a timetable for the right-hander's return.

EDGE Analysis
Nelson made his first appearance in game action since being placed on the injured list June 28. While the results weren't great, the fact that Nelson was able to take the mound was a positive development.

Nelson (elbow) has been assigned to Low-A Wisconsin for a rehab assignment and will make an appearance Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
This will mark Nelson's first rehab appearance as he continues to work back from elbow effusion. He has been out since late June and figures to fill a role in the bullpen upon his return.

Nelson (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Low-A Wisconsin on Sunday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nelson is having a rough season after missing all of 2018 for shoulder surgery. He owns an 8.36 ERA, a 2.29 WHIP and a 15:14 K:BB in 14 big-league innings. He's been out with a right elbow effusion since late June and will fill a relief role once he's cleared to return to Milwaukee.

Nelson was placed on the 10-day injured list retroactive to June 26 with a right elbow effusion.
EDGE Analysis
The Brewers did not provide any other details regarding Nelson's status, but according to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, in layman's terms, fluid was discovered in Nelson's elbow. It's too early to tell when Nelson will be ready to pitch for the Brewers again, but he almost certainly will not do so prior to the All-Star break. Corbin Burnes was recalled to take Nelson's spot on the roster.

Nelson threw two scoreless innings out of the bullpen in Tuesday's loss to the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Nelson kept the Mariners off the scoreboard, but he was not particularly sharp, throwing 47 pitches over his two frames and allowing six runners to reach base. He will continue pitching in relief for the time being while trying to work out the kinks following his extended absence due to the shoulder injury he suffered late in the 2017 campaign.
