Jacob Nix is back to making up for lost time.
Slowed by injury all year, the 23-year-old right-hander threw 2 2/3 innings Friday in his Arizona Fall League debut.
Nix struck out three and allowed two runs – one earned – on five hits and a walk in the start, his first game action since allowing nine runs in 1 2/3 innings in his lone start in the Texas League Championship Series while rehabbing with Double-A Amarillo.
Nix experienced shoulder discomfort following that start but tests came back normal.
