Dodgers: Jimmy Nelson Gets the Start in a Bullpen Game Sunday

The Dodgers will throw a bullpen game against the Marlins this afternoon. Instead of having Walker Buehler going on 5 days of rest, Dave Roberts opted to go with a team of relievers to get it done. That should help them as they continue to pitch with just 4 starters in their rotation.

Doc said on Saturday night that the Dodgers would go with Jimmy Nelson to start the game. Nelson was originally a starter in his career and Los Angeles has used him as length in relief.

The hope is that Nelson will be able to go at least 2 innings.
