Overview

  • Manager Rob Thomson said mild right-side soreness prompted the Phillies to cancel Nola’s scheduled live batting-practice session.
  • Nola has been on the 15-day injured list since May 16 after spraining his ankle on pregame agility drills and was set for a minor league rehab start.
  • The team has not established a new timetable for when Nola will be cleared to throw again, prolonging his slow recovery.
  • Before the injury, Nola struggled to a 1-7 record and 6.16 ERA over nine starts this season.
  • To cover rotation gaps, Philadelphia recalled right-hander Mick Abel and placed Zack Wheeler on the paternity list for Wednesday’s game.
