That was just ridiculous speculation. Looking at past news reports, he was reported as being 'on schedule' in May 2018 which basically meant 2019 unless there was some sort of miracle. Then progress plateaued in the summer and he was officially declared out in August. After such a long rehab his comments are the best you can hope for. Nobody is going to expect him to be a #1 starter this year but I admire his confidence. That was coming from the Brewers organization. Not June per say, but that he may be ready as soon as before the ASB up until they shut him down and sent him back out when he took that two week break in May or whenever last year. https://www.brewcrewball.com/2018/5/18/17370484/jimmy-nelson-still-on-track-in-recovery-from-shoulder-surgery https://www.brewcrewball.com/2018/1/28/16942356/brewers-on-deck-notes-jimmy-nelson-could-return-around-june
