The injury list move is backdated to September 11, so Nelson might be able to return before the regular season ends. The Diamondbacks have called up left-handed pitcher Brandon Hughes to replace Nelson on the roster.

Additionally, the Diamondbacks have announced that catcher Andrew Knizner has been designated for assignment.
