Dodgers' Jimmy Nelson: Restarts rehab assignment
Jimmy Nelson (elbow) resumed his rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Oklahoma City, striking out one batter over a scoreless inning.Nelson has remained on the Los Angeles Dodgers' 60-day injured list all season, despite having now made 24 appearances between Oklahoma City and the rookie-level Arizona Complex League over the course of four separate rehab assignments. His outing Tuesday with Oklahoma City came after he had been out of action for about two and a half weeks. Dating back to Aug. 4, Nelson has now struck out seven while allowing eight baserunners over five scoreless innings across his last five outings. If he can remain free of setbacks in his subsequent minor-league appearances, Nelson could get the chance to join the Los Angeles bullpen in September.

Dodgers' Jimmy Nelson: Begins another rehab assignment
Jimmy Nelson (elbow) began a second rehab stint with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.Nelson had to agree to the rehab assignment since he had already spent 30 days pitching in the minors during an initial rehab stint. He elected to remain in the organization as he looks to work his way back onto an MLB mound for the first time since 2021. Nelson made his first appearance in 10 days Tuesday, tossing a scoreless inning during which he walked one and struck out one. Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts indicated in early July that the right-hander hadn't "gotten quite there yet" in terms of being ready to return to the big club, and it's unclear how much more time Nelson will need with OKC before Los Angeles feels comfortable activating him.

Dodgers' Jimmy Nelson: Roster decision looms
The Los Angeles Dodgers have until Monday to either activate Jimmy Nelson (elbow) or designate him for assignment, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.Nelson began a minor-league rehab assignment June 10, and he's thrown in 10 games thus far, posting a 3.72 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 12:5 K:BB over 9.2 innings. The veteran hurler hasn't pitched in the majors since undergoing Tommy John surgery in August of 2021, though he did see some action in exhibition play during spring training this year. While Nelson has fared reasonably well during his current rehab stint, he has yet to pitch in back-to-back games or throw over one inning in any outing, which could be a barrier to him returning to the Dodgers. Manager Dave Roberts hinted as such Thursday, saying of Nelson, "There's the health component, that's one part of it. But also on rehab, getting the stuff where it needs to be, to be major-league-ready and serviceable. We haven't gotten quite there yet." Roberts added, "I really don't know what's going to happen on Day 31."

Dodgers' Jimmy Nelson: Could return Tuesday
Jimmy Nelson (elbow) tossed a scoreless inning in a rehab appearance Sunday and could be activated as early as Tuesday, Howard Cole of Off Base with Howard Cole reports.Nelson has now pitched in six minor-league games since restarting a rehab stint June 10, allowing one unearned run and posting a 7:2 K:BB over 5.2 frames. His past two outings have been with Triple-A Oklahoma City after he kicked off the assignment with the organization's ACL club. Nelson hasn't seen big-league action since 2021, so it's not certain that he's ready to join the Los Angeles Dodgers just yet. However, the veteran right-hander appears to be reasonably close to making his 2023 debut in Los Angeles' bullpen, and he was very effective in that role two seasons ago, posting a 1.86 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 44:13 K:BB over 29 innings.

Dodgers' Jimmy Nelson: Heads to 60-day IL after setback
The Los Angeles Dodgers transferred Jimmy Nelson (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Wednesday.Since Nelson has been on the shelf all season, he'll be eligible for activation as soon as May 29 after shifting to the 60-day IL, but he doesn't look as though he'll be ready to go by that date. After undergoing Tommy John surgery in August 2021, Nelson was eased along slowly in spring training before he was cleared to begin a minor-league rehab assignment in late April. However, Nelson made just one appearance in the minors before he was shut down from throwing after experiencing an apparent setback in his recovery from elbow surgery, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. The Dodgers haven't provided an update regarding when Nelson might be ready to resume a throwing progression.
