Jimmy Nelson has thrown his last pitch for the Milwaukee Brewers in 2015, according to the team’s Twitter feed. Nelson was struck in the head by a line drive by Tommy Pham during a game against the St. Louis Cardinals on September 17th. Nelson avoided serious injury, and was diagnosed with a small bruise on his brain rather than a concussion or other traumatic brain injury. He spent two nights in the hospital for observation.
RHP Tyler Cravy will start tomorrow at Wrigley Field for Jimmy Nelson, who will not pitch again this season.
