Phillies put having a hard time Aaron Nola on 15-day IL with right

PHILADELPHIA (AP)– Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola was put on the 15-day injured list on Friday with a sprained right ankle.The 31-year-old veteran has struggled this season and is coming off a getaway versus St. Louis on Wednesday in which he enabled 12 hits, 9 runs and three homers– all profession highs– in a 14-7 loss.Advertisement Nola originally injured the ankle

while doing agility work in the outfield in Tampa last Thursday. He made two starts given that, and stated the ankle bothered him to the point he was overcompensating in other places in his body. “I did feel like I had to overcompensate a bit,

“Nola said.” It did get a bit much better last game, but it was putting a little more tension on my back even if I wasn’t able to turn my foot like I typically do.” The Phillies selected to put Nola on the injured

list to prevent another injury appearing while he was favoring the ankle.Phillies manager Rob Thomson said he doesn’t expect this to be a long stint for Nola, who aside from a 10-day stint on the COVID injury list in 2021, hasn’t missed a start considering that 2017. Ad”Certainly, I never want to go on the IL,”Nola stated.”As a competitor, I’m

here to pitch. I have actually pitched through things before and little things have not affected me. I believed this was going to decrease by now, however it hasn’t truly. It’s frustrating.”For the season, Nola is 1-7 with a 6.16 period in nine starts. In 11 seasons with Philadelphia, Nola is 105-86 with a 3.78 ERA.The Phillies remembered right-hander Daniel Robert

from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to take Nola’s lineup spot. Robert was acquired from Texas in a trade on April 30. Pitching possibility Mick Abel will be recalled to make an area start on Sunday and the Phillies will make a corresponding move at that time.Taijuan Walker, who pitched three innings in relief of Nola on Wednesday, will take Nola’s real turn in the rotation next Wednesday in Colorado.Philadelphia starts a three-game series against going to Pittsburgh on Friday night.
