Yankees' Nick Nelson: Optioned to Triple-A

Nelson was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday.

Nelson was recalled by the Yankees on Sunday, and he made two relief appearances during his stint with the major-league club. He allowed four runs on three hits and four walks while striking out five in 3.2 innings. The right-hander could return to the big-league bullpen as a low-leverage relief option at some point this year.
