Ryne Nelson | Fantasy Outlook

Ryne Nelson remains sidelined by an elbow injury as the Diamondbacks battle in the wild-card race

Nelson has not taken the mound since mid-June as he works through an elbow strain and UCL issue that placed him on the 60-day injured list. Although he began a throwing program back in July with aspirations of a late-season return, he is not yet active for a second-place Diamondbacks squad (74-67) pushing hard for an NL Wild Card spot. Arizona's rotation is thin due to numerous staff injuries, but Nelson must clear several rehab hurdles before factoring in.

Before his injury, Nelson struggled to replicate his excellent 2025 form when he posted a 3.48 ERA and 1.10 WHIP. Over 15 starts in 2026, he logged an elevated 5.16 ERA and 1.28 WHIP across 80.1 innings. While our models anticipated better baseline run prevention with a projected 4.19 ERA, any rest-of-season work is likely to come in abbreviated outings or out of the bullpen.

The Diamondbacks wrap up their week with a three-game road series in Houston, where Merrill Kelly, Brandon Pfaadt, and Eduardo Rodriguez will take the hill. With Nelson projected for zero innings and still rehabbing, fantasy managers should look elsewhere for pitching help. Sit.
