US EditionPhillies Put Struggling Aaron Nola on 15-Day IL with Right Ankle Sprain
- The Philadelphia Phillies announced on Friday that veteran right-hander Aaron Nola has been sidelined with a sprained right ankle and placed on the injured list for at least 15 days following his start against St. Louis on May 14.
- Nola injured his ankle last Thursday during agility drills in the Tampa outfield, an issue that led to him favoring the ankle and eventually being removed to prevent further injury.
- Nola struggled this season with a 1-7 record and a 6.16 ERA over nine starts, culminating in a career-worst outing allowing 12 hits, nine runs, and three home runs in a 14-7 loss to the Cardinals.
- The Phillies have added right-handed pitcher Daniel Robert from their Triple-A Lehigh Valley affiliate to replace Nola on the roster, while pitching prospect Mick Abel is set to make a spot start on Sunday. Taijuan Walker will then take over Nola’s next scheduled start.
- Manager Rob Thomson expects Nola's stint on the injured list to be brief, optimistic about his recovery and aiming to avoid a prolonged absence as the Phillies begin a series against Pittsburgh Friday.
