The Phillies recalled Nelson from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday.
The right-hander was optioned to the minors late in camp but will join the major-league club Sunday since Luis Ortiz (ankle) is headed to the injured list. Nelson made just one appearance for the Phillies last season and should fill a low-leverage role, likely as a long reliever, now that he's up in the majors.
