Nelson was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander has been in the minors for the past month but will return to the majors with Darren O'Day (hamstring) landing on the injured list. Nelson has struggled in eight big-league appearances this season with a 9.75 ERA, 1.92 WHIP and 20:9 K:BB across 12 innings.

Nelson was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson was recalled by the Yankees on Sunday, and he made two relief appearances during his stint with the major-league club. He allowed four runs on three hits and four walks while striking out five in 3.2 innings. The right-hander could return to the big-league bullpen as a low-leverage relief option at some point this year.

Nelson was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old didn't make an appearance while serving as the 27th man for Thursday's doubleheader, and he'll now rejoin the major-league roster. Nelson has given up nine runs on 11 hits with a 15:5 K:BB across 8.1 innings this season.

Nelson was returned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after the team's doubleheader Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson was called up as bullpen depth and served as the 27th man for the Yankees on Thursday. However, he didn't make an appearance and will now return to a reliever role at the highest level of the minors.

Nelson will be recalled by the Yankees to serve as the 27th man in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson was cast off the major-league roster in late April after he posted a 9.72 ERA and 1.92 WHIP in 8.1 innings across six appearances (one start) early in the season. He'll be available out of the bullpen for Thursday's nightcap but will likely return to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following the game.

The Yankees optioned Nelson to their alternate training site Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson wasn't likely to be available for at least the next day or two after he tossed two innings (40 pitches) and gave up three runs in Sunday's 7-3 loss to Cleveland. He'll be replaced on the active roster by Deivi Garcia, who will be recalled from the alternate site ahead of his scheduled start Monday in Baltimore.

Nelson (0-2) allowed two runs on two hits and two walks while striking out two in one inning as he was charged with the loss against the Rays on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson made his first career start as the opener Friday, but the Rays got on the board with a walk and a pair of doubles to begin the game. The Yankees were unable to generate much run production offensively, resulting in Nelson's second loss in his first four appearances of the season. He's posted a 10.80 ERA and 10:3 K:BB in five innings this year.

Nelson will open Friday's game against the Rays, Jim Bowden of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old primarily worked as a starter in the minors and will now make his first career start in the majors. Nelson has covered four innings across three appearances out of the bullpen this season, so he'll likely be limited to a few frames Friday. Michael King is expected to follow as the primary pitcher for the Yankees.

Nelson (0-1) was tagged with the loss Opening Day against Toronto, allowing one unearned run on one hit while striking out three.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson looked good in the appearance, throwing 11 of 15 pitches for strikes. However, he allowed a leadoff 10th-inning double to Randal Grichuk, permitting Jonathan Davis -- who was on second base due to MLB's extra-innings rule -- to come around to score. Despite the disappointing outcome, Nelson's ability to recover and subsequently strike out the side bodes well for his effectiveness this season following a strong spring.

Nelson will begin the campaign as a member of the Yankees' bullpen, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

This news comes as little surprise after Nelson put together a superb spring, posting a 10:1 K:BB across 10 innings and allowing only one run. The 25-year-old was primarily a starter in the minors and could fill a flexible role for New York. He often threw multiple relief innings during his debut big-league campaign in 2020, and he could work his way into high-leverage situations if he carries his Grapefruit League momentum into the regular season.
