Aaron Nola’s Comeback Begins Thursday: Can He Redeem His Season in His First Minor League Rehab Start?
Aaron Nola, the stalwart of Philadelphia’s pitching rotation, is finally gearing up for his first rehab start Thursday with Triple-A Lehigh Valley at Worcester after being sidelined since May. The 32-year-old right-hander’s comeback is a cautious one, following a sprained right ankle and a fractured rib that have kept fans on edge and the Phillies nursing on-field struggles. After tossing batting practice last Friday, manager Rob Thomson confirmed that Nola will take the mound for about 60 pitches—an important step as he claws back towards form.
