The Diamondbacks reinstated Nelson (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Thursday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports Nelson threw 28 pitches in his second bullpen session Tuesday following his first session of 16 pitches. With his return coming near the close of the season, it seems Nelson will be used as a multi-inning reliever, but it is possible he may return as a starter. Yilber Diaz and Blake Walston were both optioned to Triple-A Reno on Thursday as part of a corresponding move.

Nelson (shoulder) threw 28 pitches in a bullpen session Tuesday, MLB.com reports. Nelson has now completed two side sessions since landing on the injured list, after the right-hander previously threw a 16-pitch session Saturday. Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said the team is undecided about whether Nelson could return to the starting rotation or be used as a multi-inning reliever once he makes his way back from the IL. With four games left in the regular season, the bullpen is probably a more realistic landing spot for Nelson if he gets activated.

Nelson (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a 25-pitch bullpen session Tuesday, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports. Nelson is working his way through right shoulder inflammation, which landed him on the 15-day injured list Sept. 14. Barring any setbacks Tuesday, the 26-year-old could be activated after a minimum-length stay, which would line him up for the weekend series against the Padres that begins Friday. Manger Torey Lovullo told reporters Monday that whether Nelson operates as a starter or reliever will depend on what pitch count the right-hander can comfortably manage.

Nelson (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session Saturday, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports. Nelson has been on the injured list since last Saturday due to shoulder inflammation. The fact he's been cleared to return to a mound after just a week on the IL bodes well for his chances of being activated after a minimum-length stay, but he still has a few more boxes to check before the D-backs can pencil him back into their rotation.

The Diamondbacks placed Nelson on the 15-day injured list Saturday with right shoulder inflammation, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports. Nelson surrendered five earned runs over just 4.2 innings during his most recent outing Sunday, and his shoulder troubles may help explain his poor performance. The Diamondbacks are hopeful he'll be able to return to the rotation after a minimum-length stay on the injured list, though he won't be eligible for activation until the final series of the regular season. Until Nelson is back in the fold, Arizona will likely move Jordan Montgomery from the bullpen back into the rotation.
