Aaron Nola’s Comeback Begins Thursday: Can He Redeem His Season in His First Minor League Rehab Start?
Also making headlines, right fielder Nick Castellanos sat out on Saturday’s starting lineup after jamming his left knee during the Phillies’ emphatic 12-5 victory over the Yankees. While Thomson remains cautiously optimistic, saying they’ll play it by ear, the injury raises concerns about the team’s outfield depth.
In another twist, Alec Bohm continues to grapple with the aftereffects of a broken left rib sustained from a brutal 92.2 mph pitch by Yu Darvish on July 12. Although he managed a brief return after the All-Star break, soreness has lingered, and he’s set to meet with the Phillies on Sunday before joining the squad en route to Chicago for further evaluation. Clearly, injuries are testing the Phillies’ resilience as they navigate this season’s turbulent waters.
