Aaron Nola Fantasy Stats

Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola will start Game 3 of the National League Division Series on Wednesday in Los Angeles against the Dodgers, according to manager Rob Thomson. Left-hander Ranger Suarez is in line to pitch behind Nola out of the bullpen, according to Matt Gelb of The Athletic. Nola will be tasked with trying to keep Philly's season alive after they lost the first two games of the best-of-five series in Philadelphia. The 32-year-old veteran will have a short leash in the starting role in a game the Phillies must win. Although Nola's 2025 campaign was a nightmare overall -- he went 5-10 with a 6.01 ERA and 1.35 WHIP in just 17 starts -- he finished the regular season in much better form on the mound. In his lone start against the Dodgers back on April 5, Nola took the loss by allowing three earned runs in six innings with seven hits allowed (two homers), one walk, and only two strikeouts.

Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola (4-8) turned in one of his best outings of the season Monday, tossing six scoreless innings with seven strikeouts in a 1-0 win over the New York Mets. Nola has endured a difficult 2025 campaign, carrying a 6.24 ERA, but this marked his fifth quality start of the year and a reminder of the veteran's ability to dominate when locked in. Despite his struggles, he effectively located his fastball and kept New York's lineup off balance, earning a much-needed boost of confidence. Nola will try to build on this performance when he takes the mound Sunday against the Kansas City Royals, a matchup that could help determine whether he can find some late-season consistency.

Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola came off the 60-day injured list on Sunday to make his first start since May 14. It didn't go well for the 32-year-old. The Phillies escaped with an 11-9 win over the Washington Nationals, but Nola lasted just 2 1/3 innings and surrendered six earned runs on seven hits with four strikeouts against one walk. The Phillies pulled Nola after 53 pitches (35 strikes), which wasn't the outcome they wanted in his comeback from a three-month stay on the IL with injuries to his ankle and ribs. Sunday's start continued a miserable season for Nola, who's 1-7 with a 6.92 ERA, a 1.60 ERA, and 56:17 K:BB in 52 innings. With ace Zack Wheeler (shoulder) now on the 15-day IL with a blood clot near his shoulder and facing an uncertain timeline to return, the Phillies are going to need a lot more from Nola. The former All-Star is scheduled to face the Nationals again on Saturday.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola (ribs, ankle) is scheduled to come off the 60-day injured list and take the mound against the Washington Nationals on Sunday. Nola has been out since the middle of May due to an ankle issue. The right-hander would later suffer a ribs issue. After three rehab outings, Nola appears ready to get back on the mound for the Phillies. Fantasy managers should make sure to get Nola active and back into their lineups ahead of this one. It's worth noting that the Phillies plan to move to a six-man rotation now. That will help keep their starters rested for the postseason, but also mean less starts for Nola down the stretch.

Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola (ankle, rib) will work out at Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Wednessday and will then meet the team in Washington D.C. for their series this weekend, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer's Lochlahn March. Manager Rob Thomson hasn't announced his starter for Sunday's series finale against the division-rival Washington Nationals, so it's possible that Nola could take that start. The 32-year-old built up to 84 pitches in his third minor-league rehab start for Lehigh Valley on Tuesday and gave up two runs while walking none and striking out 11 in 5 2/3 innings of work, so it appears he's ready to return to the big leagues. Nola has looked much more like himself on his rehab assignment, giving hope for fantasy managers that he can bounce back after sporting a 1-7 record, 6.16 ERA and 1.51 WHIP in nine starts before landing on the injured list.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola (ankle, ribs) looked excellent in Tuesday's rehab start with Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Nola pitched 5 2/3 innings, allowing two runs on four hits and no walks with 11 strikeouts over 84 pitches. The 32-year-old has made three rehab starts while recovering from ankle and rib injuries, compiling a 2.19 ERA, a 1.14 WHIP, and 17 strikeouts in 12 1/3 IP. This is encouraging for fantasy managers, as Nola had a poor 6.16 ERA, 1.51 WHIP, and 23.6% strikeout rate in nine starts with the Phillies before going on the injured list. It was reported last week that Nola may return to the Phillies after this rehab start, so fantasy managers should be on the lookout for more news.

Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola (ankle, ribs) will make another minor-league rehab start with Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday, according to Lochlan March of The Philadelphia Inquirer. If everything goes well with Nola's rehab start on Tuesday, he could return from the 60-day injured list after that. The 32-year-old veteran threw 69 pitches in his latest rehab start, so he should be sufficiently stretched out after his next start in the minors. Nola hasn't looked right in 2025, though, going 1-7 with a 6.16 ERA (5.04 FIP) and 1.51 WHIP with 52 strikeouts and 16 walks in 49 2/3 innings over nine starts before injuries struck. He's been out since May 15 with an ankle sprain and has also been battling a stress reaction in his right rib that he suffered on his first rehab assignment. How far the Phillies go this year could depend on Nola's ability to bounce back.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola (ankle, rib) continues to work his way back to the team's rotation, and he took another step in his recovery process on Wednesday by throwing 69 pitches in 3 2/3 innings in Triple-A for the Lehigh Valley IronPigs. He had three strikeouts and allowed one run on four hits and two walks. This was Nola's second rehab outing after originally landing on the injured list with a sprained ankle on May 15. While rehabbing that injury, he felt soreness in his side, and testing revealed a stress fracture in his right rib. Nola will likely make one more rehab start early next week, and he could rejoin the Phillies rotation by the middle of the month if all continues to go well. He struggled with a 6.16 ERA and 5.04 FIP in 11 starts before landing on the injured list, but the Phils and Nola's fantasy managers will hope he comes back healthy and more effective for the stretch run.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola (ankle, ribs) threw 47 pitches in his first rehab outing with Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Friday. The veteran right-hander pitched three scoreless innings, allowing three hits and one walk while striking out three. Nola has not pitched in the big leagues since mid-May. He originally hit the injured list with an ankle sprain, and then suffered a stress fracture in his right rib while rehabbing. In 49 2/3 innings (nine starts) before injuring his ankle, Nola was having the worst season of his career. He recorded a 1-7 record with a 6.16 ERA, 1.51 WHIP, and 52 strikeouts. Nola will need at least two more rehab outings before he returns to the mound for the Phillies. Philadelphia has one of the best rotations in MLB, headlined by Zack Wheeler, Christopher Sanchez, Ranger Suarez, and Jesus Luzardo. Nola could step in for Taijuan Walker as their fifth starter, but both veterans could also be unseated by top pitching prospect Andrew Painter.

Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola (ankle, rib) will start a rehab assignment with Triple-A Lehigh Valley on July 31. The plan is for Nola to throw 60 pitches in that game, Charlotte Varnes of The Athletic reports. It should be the first of three or four rehab starts for Nola, who has been out for over two months with multiple injuries. He originally went to the 15-day IL on May 15 with a sprained ankle before succumbing to a stress fracture in his right rib. Nola made nine starts earlier in the year and went a disastrous 1-7 with a 6.16 ERA over 49 2/3 innings. The former All-Star, 32, will have a chance to rebound as part of the Phillies' rotation if he gets through his rehab assignment without any setbacks.
