Kyle Nelson, a left-hander for the Diamondbacks, has been outrighted to Triple-A Reno after clearing waivers, following his designation for assignment last week. Nelson has the right to elect free agency but is unlikely to do so, as he wishes to keep his $825K salary for the year. Previously a valuable player for Arizona, Nelson faced challenges due to surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome in 2024. His current performance in Triple-A shows a significant decline in metrics, leading to a lack of claims from other clubs.

Steve Garcia discusses his surprise acceptance of the fight against Kyle Nelson just a week after his previous victory. He felt in shape and motivated.
