    Diamondbacks and LHP Kyle Nelson avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $825,000 contract.
    Nelson had a 4.18 ERA in 56 innings for the Diamondbacks in 2023 before missing most of last year due to shoulder inflammation that required surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome. He’ll have to compete for a bullpen spot if healthy this spring.

    Diamondbacks transferred LHP Kyle Nelson to the 60-day injured list.
    The procedural move opens up a spot on Arizona’s 40-man roster as Nelson will undergo season-ending surgery to address Thoracic Outlet Syndrome.
  • ARI Relief Pitcher #24
    Kyle Nelson (shoulder) visited Dr. Gregory Pearl for a consultation.
    If Pearl’s name sounds familiar, he’s well-known for being one of the leading surgeons that perform operations for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. The right-hander has been on the injured list since Tuesday with shoulder inflammation, and the consultation will likely determine whether or not Nelson needs to have an operation performed.
  • ARI Relief Pitcher #24
    Diamondbacks placed LHP Kyle Nelson on the 15-day injured list with left shoulder inflammation.
    Nelson becomes the latest member of Arizona’s pitching staff to land on the injured list. The 27-year-old lefty heads to the shelf after making 11 relief appearances this season for the Diamondbacks. He made a career-high 68 appearances last year during the regular season.
  • ARI Shortstop #82
    Jordan Lawlar is on the Diamondbacks’ NLDS roster.
    No real surprises here for the Diamondbacks as both Lawlar and veteran Evan Longoria make the roster as reserve infielders along with lefty-masher Emmanuel Rivera. The 21-year-old top prospect hit just .129 (4-for-31) with one steal in 14 games during his time in the majors, but he’ll get some valuable postseason experience moving forward for Arizona. The minor swap of lefty reliever Kyle Nelson in for righty Bryce Jarvis is the only chance from the Diamondbacks’ Wild Card Series roster.
  • ARI First Baseman #26
    Pavin Smith is on the Diamondbacks’ Wild Card roster against the Brewers.
    Smith actually finished the season in Triple-A after hitting just .188/.317/.325 over 228 plate appearances in the majors this season, but he’ll get the nod over Jace Peterson on the roster. Also of note, Bryce Jarvis is on the roster while Kyle Nelson has been left off.
  • ARI Relief Pitcher #24
    Kyle Nelson got just one out and allowed three runs — two earned — in his start against the Astros on Sunday.
    Nelson wasn’t likely to pitch more than an inning anyway. He limped to the finish line this year, giving up 10 runs — nine earned — over 6 2/3 innings in his final eight appearances. That took his ERA from 3.10 to 4.18. Still, he’ll surely be on the Diamondbacks’ Wild Card roster anyway.

    Diamondbacks’ manager Torey Lovullo announced Friday night that Kyle Nelson will start a bullpen game for the Diamondbacks on Saturday.
    It’ll be the first time this season that the 27-year-old hurler has worked as an opener for the Diamondbacks. He has done a nice job overall out of the bullpen — posting a 2.76 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and a 42/9 K/BB ratio over 32 2/3 innings.

    Diamondbacks recalled LHP Kyle Nelson from Triple-A Reno.
    Nelson gives Arizona some extra left-handed relief depth with southpaw Joe Mantiply opening the regular season on the injured list.

  • ARI Relief Pitcher #24
    Diamondbacks optioned LHP Kyle Nelson and RHP Luis Frias to Triple-A Reno.
    Nelson gets the boot despite posting a 2.19 ERA in 37 innings last year. With Jeurys Familia also out of the mix, it looks like Cole Sulser and Claudio Vargas are nearly certain to secure bullpen spots.
