Phillies Bracing for Aaron Nola Move After Update on Tuesday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Philadelphia Phillies have taken control of the NL East, now six games ahead of the second-place New York Mets after winning four consecutive games.

Nola, 32, had a 6.16 ERA in nine starts prior to his ankle injury, which was his first trip to the injured list for a non-COVID reason since a back issue sidelined him for a month in 2017. This is Year 2 of Nola's seven-year, $172 million contract.

Rob Thomson addressed how Aaron Nola will fit into the Phillies rotation after he returns from a long injury absence.
