Sidelined with forearm inflammation The Dodgers placed Nelson on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to right forearm inflammation.
Impact Phil Bickford was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City to replace Nelson, who likely developed the injury during his most recent relief appearance Thursday against the Diamondbacks. After David Price worked the first two innings of that game as an opener, Nelson came on and dominated over the next two frames, striking out a season-high five batters. The Dodgers will hope that Nelson won't end up missing much more than the minimum amount of time with the forearm issue, as the 31-year-old has emerged as a key piece out of the bullpen.

Impact In his first start as a Dodger, Nelson served as the opener and delivered 1.2 scoreless innings. He struck out three of the five batters he faced. The 32-year-old has a 2.70 ERA and 1.32 WHIP in 16.2 innings. He hasn't allowed a home run this season and boasts a 13.5 K/9.

Tabbed as Sunday's opener Nelson will start Sunday's game against the Marlins, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.
Impact The 31-year-old will make his first start since 2019 with the Brewers, though he's only expected to cover two or three innings. Nelson has been a solid bullpen piece for the Dodgers so far in 2021 with a 3.00 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 22:9 K:BB across 15 innings.

Blows save Sunday Nelson was tagged with a blown save in Sunday's loss to the Padres, pitching two innings and allowing two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three.
Impact With usual closer Kenley Jansen unavailable to pitch in the series finale, Nelson was called upon to try for his first career save with Los Angeles clinging to a two-run ninth-inning lead. The veteran couldn't get the job done, giving up a pair of runs on four singles and a walk. He came back out for the 10th inning and did a good job of keeping San Diego off the board, but the Padres eventually won the thriller in 11 frames. Nelson came into the contest having thrown five straight scoreless outings, yielding only one hit and two walks over that stretch. He'll likely return to a less pressure-packed role with Jansen resuming his regular closer duties.

Struggles in Dodgers debut Nelson pitched two-thirds of an inning against Colorado on Thursday, allowing two runs on one hit and two walks while striking out one. He also uncorked two wild pitches.
Impact Nelson was detrimentally wild in his first appearance since 2019, throwing only 15 of 28 pitches for strikes and twice watching runners cross the plate following a wild pitch. The right-hander made the Dodgers' roster in a bullpen role as the result of a strong spring, and it understandable if his ineffectiveness Thursday was at least partially tied to rust and nerves. He'll certainly get more opportunities to prove he still has something left in the tank, though he doesn't figure to pitch in high-leverage spots out of the gate.
