Nelson allowed one earned run over two innings in his second outing of the spring Thursday.
Nelson ended last season on the 60-day disabled list after being struck in the head by a line drive, but he did not suffer any lingering issues, and is 100 percent healthy this spring. Nelson has allowed just one earned run in four innings this spring, but he still has some tuning to do, as evidenced by his 1:4 K:BB ratio. He is a lock to open the season in the Brewers' rotation, but it remains to be seen where he will slot it.
