Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Friday that Nelson (shoulder) will likely be out for the rest of the 2024 season following his surgery scheduled for May 6, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson was transferred to the 60-day IL on Tuesday after injuring his left shoulder. Nelson received multiple opinions on how to proceed, but it was ultimately recommended that the southpaw undergo thoracic outlet syndrome surgery. Any hope that he would be able to return late in the season seems to have fizzled with Lovullo's latest comments. Nelson appeared in 11 games for Arizona before his injury, posting a 4.22 ERA and 1.13 WHIP over 10.2 frames.

Nelson (shoulder) will undergo thoracic outlet syndrome surgery, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson was moved to the 60-day IL on Tuesday with what the Diamondbacks termed as shoulder inflammation, but after getting checked out by a specialist, the right-hander was recommended for thoracic outlet syndrome surgery. Pitchers typically require at least 12 weeks of recovery time from the surgery, according to MLB.com, so Nelson shouldn't be expected to be an option out of the Arizona bullpen until at least September.

The Diamondbacks transferred Nelson (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Brandon Hughes. Nelson is receiving additional opinions on his injured left shoulder and now isn't eligible to return until late June.

Nelson is receiving additional opinions on his injured left shoulder before the Diamondbacks decide the next steps to take, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson landed on the injured list nearly a week ago with what was deemed left shoulder inflammation at the time, but it sounds like he might be dealing with something more serious. More information on his status could be available later this week.

Nelson was placed on the 15-day injured list with left shoulder inflammation on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson will now be sidelined for at least a couple weeks while tending to inflammation in his pitching elbow, which is never good news for a hurler. The 27-year-old had been going through a rough stretch on the mound, surrendering five earned runs over 1.1 innings in his last three appearances. It's unclear if the left-hander's stretch of poor performances had anything to do with potential arm issues or not, but he'll now at least have an opportunity to mentally reset while on the shelf. In a corresponding move, Arizona recalled right-hander Justin Martinez from Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

Nelson allowed one run on one hit without retiring a batter in Monday's 5-3 loss to St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson's outing lasted one pitch, a hanging slider that Nolan Gorman sent over the right-center field fence for a walk-off, two-run home run. This was the third consecutive appearance in which Nelson allowed at least one run after he opened the season with 9.1 scoreless innings.

Nelson allowed one hit and struck out one over two scoreless innings in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Arizona starter Ryne Nelson was chased after five runs allowed in 2.2 innings, and the Diamondbacks got stellar relief beginning with Kyle Nelson's two frames. The lefty reliever has thrown four scoreless innings to open the season.

Nelson (groin) allowed one walk over a scoreless and hitless inning in Monday's spring game against Oakland.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson was held back for eight days while dealing with a groin injury, but manager Torey Lovullo never deemed the injury serious enough to impact the pitcher's availability for Opening Day. Nelson is expected to fill a middle-relief role for the Diamondbacks, as he's done each of the last two seasons.

Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Wednesday that Nelson will be held out of action for a few days while he tends to a groin injury, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lovullo isn't worried that Nelson might not be ready for Opening Day, so it's safe to consider the left-hander day-to-day. Nelson is slated to handle a middle-relief role for Arizona this season.

Nelson is on Arizona's roster for its NLDS matchup against the Dodgers, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson was left off the D-backs' roster in favor of Bryce Jarvis ahead of the NL Wild Card Series against Milwaukee, and the two pitchers will swap places for the NLDS. Nelson gave up six runs over 3.2 innings across his final five appearances in the regular season, so the Diamondbacks will likely limit him to low-leverage outings.
