Overview

• The Phillies said a thrombolysis to dissolve the clot was successful, performed by Dr. Paul DiMuzio at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital.
• Further treatment and a recovery timetable remain undetermined after he was placed on the 15-day IL with a right upper-extremity blood clot, despite an elite season line of 10–5 with a 2.71 ERA and 195 strikeouts.
• The club is operating with a five-man rotation for now, has recalled right-hander Nolan Hoffman, and expects to add José Alvarado once his suspension ends.
• Aaron Nola’s first start since May featured six earned runs in a difficult third inning, increasing pressure on Cristopher Sánchez, Ranger Suárez, Jesús Luzardo and Taijuan Walker.
• Rob Thomson said top prospect Andrew Painter “could be” promoted after he reviewed the right-hander’s Triple-A outing, which keeps a call-up on the table if the absence persists.
