| Mar 27 2025 | The Blue Jays designated Nance for assignment Thursday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nance was unable to secure a spot in the Blue Jays' Opening Day bullpen after logging a 5.06 ERA and 2.25 WHIP in 5.1 innings in Grapefruit League play. He'll end up being squeezed off the 40-man roster as the Blue Jays clear a spot in the bullpen for right-hander Jacob Barnes, who had his contract selected from Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move. |
|
| Sep 25 2024 | The Blue Jays optioned Nance to the minors Wednesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nance pitched both of the last two days and three of the last four, so the Blue Jays are replacing him with a fresh bullpen arm in Brett de Geus, who was called up from Triple-A Buffalo. Unless the Blue Jays bring him back by placing another player on the injured list in a corresponding move, Nance will close the 2024 season with a 4.09 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 19:9 K:BB across 22 innings over his 20 relief appearances for Toronto. |
|
| Aug 8 2024 | The Blue Jays selected Nance's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nance was just acquired from the Padres for cash considerations Wednesday and a day later has been added to the major-league roster. The 33-year-old has been at Triple-A El Paso all season, posting a 4.05 ERA and 35:8 K:BB over 33.1 innings. Nance -- who last appeared in the majors in 2022 -- could be sent back down once Genesis Cabrera returns from paternity leave. |
|
| Mar 3 2024 | Nance (shoulder) is scheduled to make his fourth appearance of the Cactus League in Sunday's game against the Mariners, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Through three outings, Nance -- who is attending camp as a non-roster invitee -- has struck out a batter while giving up one earned run on two hits and no walks over three innings. Nance finished the 2023 season on the Marlins' 60-day injured list after developing a shoulder issue in September, but he looks like he'll enter the 2024 campaign with a clean bill of health. The right-hander is competing for a spot in the Padres' Opening Day bullpen but is more likely to begin the season at Triple-A El Paso. |
|
| Nov 6 2023 | Nance (shoulder) cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Iowa on Monday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He's no longer on the Marlins' 40-man roster but will stay in the organization. Nance missed a large chunk of the 2023 campaign with shoulder problems. |
|
| Sep 19 2023 | Nance (undisclosed) was recalled Tuesday from Triple-A Jacksonville and placed on the 60-day injured list, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: This move clears out a 40-man roster spot for Matt Moore, whom the Marlins claimed off waivers from the Guardians on Tuesday afternoon. There is no exact diagnosis, but Nance has battled shoulder issues throughout the 2023 season and is now officially done for the year. |
|
| Aug 28 2023 | Nance was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, Paige Leckie of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nance was activated from the 60-day injured list Wednesday after missing time with a shoulder injury, but he failed to make his 2023 debut. The right-hander was bumped to the minors to make room for George Soriano, who was reinstated from the paternity list Monday. |
|
| Aug 23 2023 | Nance (shoulder) was activated from the 60-day injured list Wednesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nance has been out all season with a shoulder injury and dealt with multiple starts and stops along the way during his rehab. He reeled off 7.2 scoreless innings during his recent rehab stint with Triple-A Jacksonville, though, clearing the way for his addition to the Marlins' bullpen. |
|
| Jul 27 2023 | Nance (shoulder) began a rehab assignment with the Marlins' Florida Complex League affiliate on Wednesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nance allowed a hit and a walk but struck out three over two scoreless innings in his first outing with the FCL Marlins. The righty reliever has been out all season with shoulder issues, having had to be shut down after one appearance in his initial rehab assignment back in May. He'll need to avoid more setbacks this time around and figures to need a handful of outings before being an option for the major-league bullpen. |
|
| Jul 15 2023 | Nance (shoulder) threw a 15-pitch bullpen session Tuesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nance has resided on the injured list all season due to a right shoulder strain, though he was able to make a minor-league rehab appearance May 12 before being shut down following a setback. He's beginning to ramp up again and will likely need to complete a few more side sessions before eventually graduating to facing hitters in live batting practice and then restarting a rehab assignment. Nance may face an uphill battle to make it back from the IL before the end of July. |
|
| Jun 5 2023 | Nance (shoulder) will resume a throwing program this week, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nance had to be pulled off a rehab assignment last month because of renewed soreness in his right shoulder, but he's ready to test things out again after a shutdown period. He'll need to re-start a rehab assignment once deemed game-ready, so he figures to be multiple weeks away. |
|
| May 22 2023 | Nance is still feeling soreness in his injured shoulder and has been recalled from his rehab assignment, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nance began a rehab assignment 10 days ago, but he has not pitched since and seemingly has not put his injury behind him. He will undergo an evaluation to determine what the next step will be in his recovery. |
|
| May 5 2023 | Nance (shoulder) will throw live batting practice Saturday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: If that goes well, a rehab assignment shouldn't be far off. Nance is on the 60-day injured list and not eligible for activation until late May. |
|
| Apr 28 2023 | Nance (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a 35-pitch bullpen session Saturday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Miami recently transferred Nance from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list as he continues his recovery from a February shoulder strain, but he's making steady progress and might be ready for activation around the time he's first eligible in late May. |
|
| Apr 3 2023 | The Marlins announced Monday that Nance (shoulder) has been playing catch from 105 feet, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nance will likely need to extend his throwing distance a little more before being deemed ready for mound work, something that could happen within the next week or two if he experiences no further setbacks in his recovery from a right shoulder injury. As a reliever, Nance likely won't be in need of as extended of a buildup program as a starting pitcher, but he still has several checkpoints to clear in his rehab before he'll be a realistic option out of the Miami bullpen. |
|
| Mar 30 2023 | Nance (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday, retroactive to March 27. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nance struggled with right shoulder soreness all spring and there is currently no timetable for his 2023 debut. He hung back at the Marlins' spring training complex in Florida when camp broke. |
|
| Mar 26 2023 | The Marlins announced Sunday that Nance (shoulder) will remain at the team's spring camp in Jupiter, Fla. to begin the season and won't be part of the Opening Day roster, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nance has yet to make an appearance during the Grapefruit League slate while he continues to battle right shoulder soreness. As a reliever, Nance isn't expected to require extensive ramp-up time, but his lack of game action to date suggests that he'll spend more than 15 days on the injured list to begin the campaign. |
|
| Feb 28 2023 | Nance is being evaluated for slight right shoulder discomfort, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: More should be known about Nance's status in a couple of days. He is currently projected for a middle relief role this season in Miami after posting a 4.33 ERA and 57:21 K:BB over 43.2 innings in 2022. |
|
| Sep 30 2022 | Nance (1-3) earned the win in Thursday's 4-2 victory over the Brewers. He did not allow a run on one hit while striking out one over one inning. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nance allowed only a double from Tyrone Taylor in his return from the 15-day injured list (groin). The righty has been awesome during his last 12 outings, recording a 2.13 ERA over 12.2 innings. In addition, the 31-year-old has only allowed one baserunner over 2.2 innings during his last three appearances. |
|
| Sep 29 2022 | Nance (groin) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list Thursday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nance made a rehab appearance at Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday and struck out one in a perfect inning. The right-hander will rejoin the Marlins after a minimal IL stint and will be available out of the major-league bullpen for the final week of the regular season. |
|
| Sep 26 2022 | Nance (groin) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nance is eligible to return from the injured list late this week, and the start of his rehab assignment signals that he'll likely be in the mix to rejoin the Marlins' bullpen prior to the end of the regular season. Since the right-hander usually has short appearances out of the bullpen, it seems likely that he'll be cleared to return following a brief rehab stint. |
|
| Sep 15 2022 | Nance was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday with a right groin strain, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's unclear when Nance picked up the injury but it will sideline him at least until late September. He has a chance to return to action before the season ends, but with the Marlins out of playoff contention they could opt to shut him down. Nance will be replaced in Miami's bullpen by Jake Fishman. |
|
| Aug 26 2022 | Nance will start Friday's game against the Dodgers, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Marlins will employ a bullpen game Friday, and Nance will be the first pitcher on the mound. The 31-year-old has covered 2-to-3 frames in his last three outings and should have a similar workload versus Los Angeles. |
|
| Aug 19 2022 | Nance was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander was demoted to Jacksonville on Sunday, but he'll be able to rejoin the big-league club before spending the minimum 10 days in the minors since Garrett Cooper (concussion) was placed on the injured list. Nance has a 5.46 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 41:14 K:BB across 28 innings for Miami this year. |
|
| Aug 14 2022 | Nance was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nance allowed just a lone earned run while tossing three innings and striking out six batters in the nightcap of Saturday's doubleheader, but he likely would have been unavailable for a couple days after throwing 56 pitchers, so the Marlins decided to send him down and open up a spot for a fresh arm. |
|
| Aug 13 2022 | Nance (groin) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list prior to the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against Atlanta, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nance was on the injured list since July 24, but he began a rehab assignment in early August. He allowed a run on two hits and a walk while striking out three in three innings over two appearances in the minors and has now been cleared to rejoin the major-league club. He'll begin Saturday's nightcap on the mound but will likely serve as an opener since he hasn't pitched more than 2.1 innings in any outing this season. |
|
| Aug 5 2022 | Nance (groin) threw a bullpen session Wednesday and will begin a rehab assignment this weekend, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nance landed on the injured list July 24 but is closing in on a return. It's not yet clear how many rehab appearances the right-hander will make, but it's possible that he rejoins the Marlins' bullpen as early as next week. |
|
| Jul 24 2022 | Nance was placed on the 15-day injured list Sunday with a right groin strain, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nance presumably sustained the injury during Saturday's appearance against the Pirates when he allowed two hits and a walk with two strikeouts in a scoreless inning. The 31-year-old will now be unavailable for at least the next couple weeks. |
|
| Jul 21 2022 | Nance was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday, Andre Fernandez of Herald Sports reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nance will return to the big leagues after he was optioned to Triple-A on July 8. The 31-year-old has produced a 6.14 ERA and 1.68 WHIP with 30 punchouts over 22 innings in 17 appearances with Miami this year. Nance will replace Elieser Hernandez (illness), who was placed on the COVID-19-related injured list Thursday. |
|
| Jul 8 2022 | Nance was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nance spent just over two months on the active roster, struggling to a 6.14 ERA and 1.68 WHIP in 22 innings of relief. Elieser Hernandez was called up to take his place in the bullpen. |
|
| May 5 2022 | Nance was recalled by the Marlins on Thursday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nance began the season in the minors and tossed 4.2 scoreless innings over three appearances (one start). The right-hander made 27 relief appearances for the Cubs last year and will now provide bullpen assistance for Miami. |
|
| Mar 31 2022 | Nance was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Marlins claimed Nance off waivers Sunday, after he was designated for assignment by the Cubs. He made his major-league debut in 2021, and despite a disastrous 7.22 ERA, Nance showed some promising skills by racking up 30 strikeouts across 28.2 innings. Though he'll now begin the season at Triple-A Jacksonville, Nance will likely contribute out of Miami's bullpen at some point during the season. |
|
| Mar 27 2022 | Nance was claimed off waivers by the Marlins on Sunday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nance was designated for assignment by the Cubs on Thursday after he posted a 7.22 ERA and 1.33 WHIP in 28.2 innings across 27 relief appearances for the major-league club last year. He should have a chance to compete for a spot in the Marlins' bullpen with a week and a half remaining until Opening Day. |
|
| Mar 25 2022 | Nance was activated from the COVID-19 injured list and designated for assignment Friday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nance hit the COVID-19 injured list early in camp and won't have a 40-man roster spot to return to now that he's available again. As a 31-year-old with a 7.22 ERA in just 28.2 career major-league innings, he's far from a lock to get claimed off waivers. |
|
| Mar 19 2022 | Nance was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Saturday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nance actually ended last season on the same injured list. It's unclear if he's caught the virus himself this time around or if he's sidelined due to contract tracing. |
|
| Oct 2 2021 | Nance was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Saturday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nance joins a lengthy list of Cubs who have landed on the COVID-19 injured list late in the year, and it's not yet clear whether he's tested positive for the virus or whether he's considered a close contact. Right-hander Joe Biagini's contract was selected from Triple-A Iowa to take his place in the bullpen. |
|
| Sep 10 2021 | Nance was recalled by the Cubs on Friday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nance made his big-league debut at age 30 this season and has thrown 21.1 innings at the highest level. His 5.06 ERA is poor, but his 26.1 percent strikeout rate and 54.7 percent groundball rate are both encouraging numbers. He'll fill the bullpen spot that had belonged to Adam Morgan, who was placed on the bereavement list. |
|
| Jul 2 2021 | The Cubs optioned Nance to Triple-A Iowa on Friday, Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports Chicago reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The righty had a miserable outing Wednesday, yielding five runs in 1.2 innings. Nance hit two batters on top of a walk and a home run. After 12 consecutive scoreless appearances to start the season, he's now allowed at least a run in six of his last seven games. Kohl Stewart was recalled in a corresponding move. |
|
| Jun 29 2021 | The Cubs recalled Nance from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The righty rejoins the big-league club just a day after being optioned. Nance was demoted for struggling in five of his last six appearances, but he'll be called upon to help fill the void left in Chicago's bullpen by Ryan Tepera (calf), whom the Cubs placed on the injured list Tuesday. |
|
| Jun 28 2021 | Nance was optioned to Triple-A Iowa on Monday, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nance tossed 11.1 scoreless innings across his first 12 appearances with the major-league club this year, but he posted a 9.53 ERA in 5.2 innings across his last four appearances. He'll attempt to sort things out in the minors after right-hander Trevor Megill was recalled in a corresponding move. |
|
| Jun 11 2021 | Nance (1-0) pitched two scoreless innings of relief and earned the win Friday against the Cardinals. He walked a batter and struck out two. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 30-year-old rookie has been good so far for the Cubs, as he has now gone 11.1 innings without allowing a run, and he's struck out 13. Friday's win in relief was also the first for Nance at the big-league level. Chicago's bullpen has featured a few surprising performers this season, and Nance is adding his name to that list. He should continue to see opportunities as long as he's pitching well. |
|
| Jun 7 2021 | Nance has yet to allow a run in any of his 10 appearances out of the Chicago bullpen since being called up from Triple-A Iowa on May 16. He's permitted two hits and four walks while striking out nine and gathering four holds across 8.1 innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 30-year-old rookie is among several unsung relievers who have helped turn the Chicago bullpen into one of baseball's better units through the first two-plus months of the season. Nance has earned more high-leverage work as a result of getting off to a hot start to his big-league career, but he won't enter the mix for saves so long as Craig Kimbrel continues to pitch at an elite level. |
|
| May 16 2021 | Nance had his contract selected by the Cubs on Sunday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 30-year-old will join the Cubs in hopes of making his major-league debut. Nance had a solid start to the season at Triple-A Iowa with one run allowed over six innings. |
