Aaron Nola’s Comeback Begins Thursday: Can He Redeem His Season in His First Minor League Rehab Start?
Nola’s injury woes began back on May 8, during what should’ve been routine agility drills but instead turned into a challenge that halted his season progress. Despite two lackluster starts, the decision to place him on the injured list on May 15 was necessary. A bullpen session on June 1 offered some hope, but soreness that followed led to an MRI unveiling a stress fracture in his rib, setting back his return further. Notably, this marks the first time since 2017 that Nola has landed on the IL for a physical injury—a stark contrast to his typically durable presence. When he last took the mound, his record stood at 1-7 with a 6.16 ERA over nearly 50 innings, spotlighting the uphill battle ahead.
