Rattlesnake announces left-handed Kyle Nelson Has been assigned as a job. This is the correct signing of the 40-person move Jack Woodfordpreviously reported actions.
Nelson, 28, has worked for Diamondbacks for many years. During the 2021-22 offseason, he was exempted from the Guardian. He sometimes shows some potential but requires surgery to treat thoracic outlet syndrome in April 2024 and because of the rough procedure.
He missed the rest of the 2024 campaign after being under the knife. In 2025, he has been working on optional tasks and threw 17 innings. He allowed 16 runs at that time, resulting in an 8.47 ERA. This is a small working sample, but he also had only 12 strikeouts, accounting for 14.6% of face-to-face hitters. His fastball averages only 89.9 miles per hour.
There is a big gap between the show and what he was able to do a few years ago. In 2023, he logged in 56 innings for the snake with 4.18 ERA. He hit 28% of the batsmen, and the fastball averaged 92 miles per hour.
As we all know, overcoming the diagnosis of thoracic outlet syndrome is difficult. Pitcher likes Matt Harvey and Chris Archer Sharply later in their career Stephen Strasburg Essentially, his career ended in this situation. Rattlesnakes, on the other hand, like Merrill Lynch Kelly and Ryan Thompson Everyone has managed to design a solid TOS season.
Nelson will now enter DFA Limbo and can last for a week. The exemption process takes 48 hours, so it can take five days for the snake to explore trade negotiations. Based on his injury absence and latest results, there may not be much interest.
If Nelson clears the waiver completely, he will have the right to elect a free agent, but may decide to stay. Players with at least three years of major league service have the right to refuse direct tasks, but players with less than five years must confiscate their remaining salary to exercise this right. Nelson is in the window of three to five years. He and the club avoided arbitration during the offseason, agreeing to pay $825,000 this year, up from the lowest $760,000 in Major League Baseball salary in the North.
