Nola has not pitched in a game since May 14 as a sprained ankle and a stress fracture in his rib kept him out of action. If Nola makes three rehab starts, he could be ready to return in mid-August.

Phillies' Aaron Nola Announces Injury Update After Missing Two Months originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Right-handed starting pitcher Aaron Nola has appeared in eleven seasons for the Philadelphia Phillies.

In his pregame availability with the media on July 2, Phillies manager Rob Thomson said the hope is to get Nola on the mound for a full bullpen session by the end of the weekend. Thomson also said that once Nola begins to ramp up his throwing program, the Phillies will treat it like a second spring training.
