Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jimmy Nelson (shoulder) is unlikely to be ready to pitch for the team before September, general manager David Stearns said Sunday.
Nelson hasn't thrown off a mound since undergoing shoulder surgery last September but Stearns believes the 29-year-old right-hander will pitch for the Brewers at some point this season.
Nelson went 12-6 for Milwaukee in 2017 while spinning a 3.49 ERA and 1.25 WHIP with 199 strikeouts and 48 walks across 175 1/3 innings.
