US EditionPhillies P Nola Skips Bullpen Session Due to Continued Soreness in Sprained Ankle
- Aaron Nola, the Philadelphia Phillies’ right-handed pitcher, was unable to participate in his scheduled bullpen workout on Saturday due to ongoing soreness from a sprained right ankle, leading to his placement on the 15-day injured list as of May 16.
- Nola sustained his ankle injury while performing agility drills in Tampa's outfield, which worsened following a difficult appearance against St. Louis.
- Nola has faced challenges this season, holding a 1-7 record and a 6.16 ERA across nine starts, and recently gave up career-high numbers in hits, runs, and home runs during a 14-7 defeat to St. Louis.
- Nola said, "I want to get it right" and emphasized he will not return until his ankle feels strong and allows sprinting without issues.
- The Phillies' deep starting rotation including Zac Wheeler and acquisitions like Jesus Luzardo has been critical to offsetting Nola's absence and his continuing struggles.
