Overview

• Nola threw a three-inning live batting practice session at Yankee Stadium, delivering 56 pitches without ankle or rib discomfort.
• He is slated to begin a Triple-A rehab assignment with Lehigh Valley as soon as next week, pending one final bullpen session.
• Manager Rob Thomson plans to start Nola at about 55–60 pitches and increase his count by roughly 15 pitches per outing.
• The veteran right-hander has been sidelined since early May by a right ankle sprain and subsequent rib stress fracture but reports both areas feel strong.
• The Phillies view Nola’s return and innings-eating profile as vital to bolstering a deep rotation for their late-season playoff push.
