Ryne Nelson's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Ryne Nelson put together a very nice start on Thursday, earning his fifth win in a 5-2 victory over the Washington Nationals. Nelson tossed seven strong innings, allowing just three hits with two strikeouts and zero walks. The swing-and-miss stuff wasn't there in this one, but it is his second consecutive start of six-plus innings with two or fewer runs allowed. The 26-year-old still has poor numbers for the season and shouldn't be rostered in many leagues, but he could make for a decent streamer if the matchup is right. He is lined up to face the Minnesota Twins next week, so he won't hold much streamer appeal for that one.

Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Ryne Nelson turned in a quality start in a 4-2 win over the San Francisco Giants on Monday. Nelson held San Francisco to two runs on six hits over 7 2/3 innings while striking out one and walking none but had to settle for a no-decision. While he didn't rack up the strikeouts, Nelson's strong performance is worth taking note of in fantasy. Nelson now has a 3-4 record, 5.44 ERA, 1.60 WHIP, and 32 strikeouts across 48 innings of work in 2024. He will look to stay hot in his next start, which is set for Saturday against the San Diego Padres.

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Ryne Nelson (elbow) is slated to return to action and start Sunday in the final game of a three-game set against the San Diego Padres. Nelson was battling a right elbow contusion after being hit by a line drive in mid-April. The 26-year-old did not need a rehab appearance and is returning directly to the Arizona rotation. Nelson carries a 4.60 ERA and 1.53 WHIP with 13 strikeouts across 15 innings into Sunday's matchup against the Padres and is probably best to fade in DFS and should be used as a streamer in the right matchups in most formats.
