Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jimmy Nelson (shoulder) is likely going to be sidelined until the month of September, according to manager Craig Counsell. Brewers general manager David Stearns said earlier this month that Nelson likely wouldn't be back until September, but now Counsell has confirmed the news. Any fantasy owners that were stashing Nelson can go ahead and drop him. He is not going to be helpful in fantasy leagues this season.

General manager David Stearns indicated Sunday he expects Nelson (shoulder) to pitch for the Brewers in 2018, but that is unlikely to occur prior to September, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

GM David Stearns said Friday that the Brewers are "still comfortable" Nelson (shoulder) will pitch for the club this season, but added that "at some point if we don't progress...to throwing off of a mound, we have to be realistic that it might not happen this year," Kelly Price of NBC26 Green Bay reports.

Nelson (shoulder) said Sunday that he's "trending in the right direction," but he remains without a timetable to resume throwing off a mound, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jimmy Nelson (shoulder) has made no progress since his last injury update in late May where he was playing catch. Earlier in May, he was throwing from 150 feet. However, he took a planned break from the rehabilitation program, as advised by a doctor. His timetable is currently unknown. However, considering his initial timetable was to return by the All-Star break and the fact that he has still not thrown off a mound, he's got a lot of work to do. There is a possibility that he could miss the entire season, however, the Brewers do expect him to pitch this year, so an August or September return seems reasonable at this moment. Despite Nelson's solid numbers last year, his unknown timetable leaves some questions and he should only be stashed in deeper formats.

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jimmy Nelson (shoulder) is now playing catch once again alongside starting pitcher Wade Miley. While Nelson was throwing from 150 feet on May 12, it appears he suffered a setback after a visit with Dr. ElAttrache in Los Angeles. Now with the 10-day break he has taken, Nelson will have to work his way back up to 150 feet in his throwing program. It was predicted that Nelson would be throwing off a mound in May in his original prognosis, however, it looks like that's not the case as of right now. His original timetable of returning near the All-Star break still looks possible. Right now, he's worth a disabled list stash in deep leagues and when he returns from injury, he should be added in all formats.

Nelson (shoulder) resumed playing catch Monday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Nelson will be shut down for the next 10 days after meeting with Dr. Neal ElAttrache on Thursday, during which it was determined the pitcher's surgically-repaired shoulder is doing just fine, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jimmy Nelson (shoulder) is now throwing from 150 feet and will head to Los Angeles for a progress report. Nelson has been sidelined since last September is still working and as per his timeline, should start throwing bullpen sessions sometime this month. His return isn't expected to be until the All-Star break for now, so owners who are hanging onto him still have a month or two to go. Stay posted for the injury update sometime this week.

Nelson will undergo a checkup on his surgically-repaired shoulder during a visit with Dr. Neal ElAttrache on Thursday, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Nelson (shoulder) continues to throw off flat ground at around 150 feet and should be cleared for mound work in the near future, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. "We're just looking to see consistency," Nelson said. "What we want is 5-to-6 good days [of flat-ground throwing] in a row. It doesn't make sense to do a bullpen [session] before that."

Nelson (shoulder) is getting close to being ready to throw bullpen sessions, according to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com.

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jimmy Nelson (shoulder) was seen doing some throwing motions off a bullpen mound in Chicago on Thursday as he continues to go through the recovery process. Nelson has got a lot of work to do, as projections for his return can go as far as the All-Star Break. However, the Brewers don't appear to be missing him too much with their winning record and will take their time. He's a great candidate for a disabled list stash in leagues and will provide very high strikeout upside to owners.

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jimmy Nelson (shoulder) is continuing to progress in his throwing program, which consists of long tossing. The hope for Nelson is that he can do some mound work hopefully by the end of April. This was expected with Nelson, as he is currently not projected to return until sometime around the All-Star break. It will be interesting to see how he performs after this surgery, as last season he broke out for a 12-6 record, a 3.05 ERA and 199 strikeouts in 175 and 1/3 innings pitched. The potential that Nelson showed last season makes it very reasonable to hang onto him as a stash in leagues with disabled list spots.

Nelson was moved to the 60-day DL prior to Friday's game.

Nelson (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day disabled list Wednesday.

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jimmy Nelson is up to 105 feet in his throwing program and is currently targeting 120 feet, which he will stay at for a few weeks before getting into the minor league rehab stage. The hope for Nelson is to return in the second half of April and he is a lock to start in the rotation. There are questions right now as to whether or not Nelson will be added to the disabled list, but, for right now, he is still day-to-day on Yahoo leagues. Provided he gets added to the DL, Nelson will make a great early season DL stash, as he is looking to continue off a season in which he maintained a 3.49 ERA and a whopping 199 strikeouts in 175.1 innings pitched.

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jimmy Nelson (shoulder) is still limited to throwing off flat ground and will not be able to pitch off a mound until after the season starts. Nelson underwent shoulder surgery in September and really just began a throwing regimen. There is still no specific timeline as to when the 28-year-old right-hander will be able to return. It is possible that his original June estimation could be pushed all the way back to the All-Star break. He may be somebody to avoid on to draft day this spring, despite his breakout 2017.

Nelson (shoulder) has been able to throw from 60 feet the past few days and stated that he's progressing ahead of schedule, Tom Haudricourt of The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jimmy Nelson (shoulder) could be back around June, according to pitching coach Derek Johnson. Any timetable for Nelson at this point is a rough estimate, and Nelson himself on Sunday did not want to offer a guess as to when he will return. However, Johnson's proclamation is certainly noteworthy and gives us an idea as to when we can expect the right-hander back. Nelson had surgery last September to repair his labrum and rotator cuff.

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jimmy Nelson (shoulder) is ahead of schedule in his rehab from shoulder surgery, and he plans to throw a baseball for the first time this Friday. He has been using a hyperbaric chamber to speed his recovery, and he spends around two hours a day in the tube. Nelson saw a breakout in 2017, but unfortunately for fantasy owners, he's expected to miss the start of the regular season this year, and there remains no current timetable for his return. But he's way ahead of schedule right now, and he should be able to return sometime in 2018.

Nelson (shoulder) agreed to a one-year, $3.7 million deal with the Brewers on Friday, avoiding arbitration, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jimmy Nelson avoided salary arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $3.7 million deal, according to a source. 2017 was a career year for Nelson, but a shoulder injury in September cut his season short, and it will cause him to open 2018 on the disabled list. He may still be worth stashing on the bench in deeper leagues, but you'll want to temper expectations, as he could miss a large chunk of the season.

Nelson said on MLB Network's "Hot Stove" that he believes his rehab from a torn labrum in the shoulder of his pitching arm "is going just about as well as it could possibly go,"

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jimmy Nelson (shoulder) said he's happy with the progress he's making in his rehab. "The progress has been impressive and I'm pretty proud of how far I've come already," Nelson said. The right-hander was having a very successful year before suffering his shoulder injury in September, and he finished with a 12-6 record, 3.49 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 199 strikeouts in 175 1/3 innings over 29 starts. While he may be a little late to the party at the beginning of the 2018 season, he showed last year that he'll remain a big part of the rotation when healthy.

During his session with assembled media at the Winter Meetings on Monday morning, Brewers manager Craig Counsell said it's too early to project a return date for Nelson (shoulder) as he's approximately 10 weeks removed from surgery.

Nelson (shoulder) will miss a "meaningful" portion of the 2018 season, according to general manager David Stearns, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Jimmy Nelson underwent successful surgery on his right shoulder and is expected to miss a "chunk" of the 2018 season, according to Brewers general manager David Stearns. It was originally announced that the surgery could just be a "cleanup," but Nelson needed some of his labrum repaired, as it turned out. This is a potentially big blow not only to Nelson's 2018 prospects, but perhaps even his career, as the history of pitchers coming back from labrum surgery is sketchy, at best. Obviously, it's a big bummer for a guy who had a big breakout this season, posting a 3.49 ERA in 175 1/3 innings.

Nelson underwent successful surgery on his shoulder Tuesday, but will miss some additional time next spring at the beginning of the 2018 regular season, Todd Rosiak of The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jimmy Nelson (shoulder) will undergo exploratory surgery Tuesday, and the team won't know the severity until afterwards. Nelson's season frustratingly came to an end early. He was one of the better surprised in baseball in 2017, pitching to a 12-6 record, 3.49 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and career-high 10.2 K/9 in 29 starts. He'll undoubtedly be a big part of next year's rotation plans depending on what his rehab timeline will be following surgery. Stay tuned.

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Jimmy Nelson will have surgery on his right shoulder on Tuesday. A timetable for Nelson's recovery will not be known until after the procedure is performed, but the right-hander is encouraged after takling to a surgeon, as there is a chance it could just be arthroscopic surgery. He is obviously done for the season, but "only" have a cleanup procedure would give him a much better chance to return at full strength next year. Nelson damaged his right rotator cuff and labrum while diving back into first base last week. He finishes the regular season 12-6 with a 3.49 ERA.

He came into the season with a career ERA of 4.38 for comparison. He still does not have dominating stuff and is a risk if you expect a similar season in the future but he made the case for being owned in leagues of 12 teams or more during this season.
