A Dodgers reliever is back in a familiar place as he tries to make his way to Los Angeles once again.
Jimmy Nelson is once again going on a rehab assignment as he tries to come back from elbow inflammation that started in spring training, flaring up from his Tommy John surgery. Nelson has yet to pitch in the majors this year.
Nelson has had a rough go at it since he’s made his way to the Dodgers. Since signing the righty to a free-agent contract in the 2020 offseason, he’s only been able to pitch in 28 games.
