Nelson sustained a jammed shoulder sliding back into first base and will undergo further tests Saturday, but the Brewers are cautiously optimistic that he will be fine, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Nelson was able to complete a scoreless inning after the slide, but the shoulder was giving him enough pain that the Brewers decided to take him out after 79 pitches and five shutout innings. He still picked up the win as Milwaukee's bullpen managed to preserve the shutout. More will be known after the weekend's tests, but Nelson may be able to make his next start Wednesday against Pittsburgh.
