Recalled by Arizona Nelson was recalled by the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

Impact Nelson was claimed off waivers by Arizona during the offseason, and he was set to begin the season at Triple-A Reno. However, he'll now have the chance to improve on his past big-league opportunities, during which he's posted a 12.19 ERA across 10.1 innings. Nelson will be limited to low-leverage outings.

Claimed by Arizona Nelson was claimed off waivers by the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.

Impact Nelson was designated for assignment by the Guardians on Friday after he posted a 9.31 ERA and 1.86 WHIP in 9.2 innings across 10 major-league appearances in 2021. Although he spent most of the year in the minors, he should be in the mix for a major-league roster spot in Arizona during the 2022 campaign.

Removed from 40-man roster Nelson was designated for assignment by the Guardians on Friday.

Impact Nelson posted a 9.31 ERA and 1.86 WHIP in 9.2 innings across 10 appearances in the majors last year. He spent the second half of the season at Triple-A Columbus and will now be cast off the 40-man roster.

Sent to Triple-A Nelson was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Monday.

Inconsistent through 10 appearances Nelson has a 9.31 ERA and a 1.86 WHIP through his first 10 appearances this season.

Impact While those are daunting numbers, the southpaw has actually kept runs off the board in eight of his outings. Nelson's ratios have been warped by the two times he's allowed five runs. A 7.4 BB/9 is still too high to be considered effective, but considering he's pitched to a 4.58 FIP, the reliever should be in line for a statistical correction over time. He allowed just one walk and struck out one over 1.1 innings in Sunday's 8-2 loss to Minnesota.

Recalled by Cleveland Nelson was recalled from Triple-A Columbus on Monday.

Impact Nelson was sent down Saturday, but he'll return to the major-league roster after Shane Bieber (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday. Nelson has posted a 7.50 ERA and 1.67 WHIP in six innings across six relief appearances with the major-league club this year.

Sent down Saturday Nelson was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Saturday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Disaster inning Sunday Nelson allowed five runs on five hits and a walk in one inning of Sunday's 18-5 loss to Baltimore.

Impact By the time the southpaw entered the contest in the seventh inning, Cleveland already trailed 12-3. Nelson did nothing to improve the situation, allowing Baltimore to tack on five more runs. The 24-year-old had strung together five scoreless innings across five appearances prior to Sunday's disaster. He has yet to record a decision or a hold -- it's expected he'll remain in low-leverage assignments.

Sent to minors Nelson was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Friday, Ryan Lewis of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Impact The 24-year-old was competing for a spot in the bullpen to start the season, and he had a strong spring training with one run allowed and an 8:0 K:BB over five innings. Nelson still figures to be in the mix this season as Cleveland shuffles its bullpen pieces.

MARCH 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to alternate training site Nelson was optioned to the Indians' alternate training site Wednesday.

Impact The 24-year-old had his contract selected by Cleveland last week and will return to the alternate training site. Nelson made his big-league debut Thursday against the Royals and surrendered four runs on four hits with one walk over two-thirds of an inning.
