Nola (ankle, rib) threw a bullpen session prior to Sunday's series finale against the Reds, per MLB.com.

EDGE Analysis

Nola came away with no issues and is expected to continue his throwing progression through the All-Star break in mid-July. The veteran right-hander is rehabbing from a sprained right ankle and subsequent stress fracture in his right rib, and he'll have been on the injured list for over two months by the time play resumes following the Midsummer Classic. Fantasy managers shouldn't anticipate having Nola available until sometime in early-to-mid August at this point, as the hurler will likely need to make a handful of minor-league rehab starts before rejoining Philadelphia's rotation.

The Phillies transferred Nola (ankle/ribs) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for infielderBuddy Kennedy, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Lehigh Valley. As a result of the transaction, Nola won't be eligible for activation until the first game after the All-Star break, but he had already effectively been ruled out until then anyway. The hurler initially went on the IL back in mid-May with a sprained ankle, but he's now recovering from a stress reaction in his right rib cage.

Nola (ankle) will be shut down for at least two weeks after an MRI showed a stress reaction in his right rib cage, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nola appears to be past the right ankle sprain that initially sent him to the 15-day injured list, but the new injury he's dealing with could sideline him through the All-Star break. Mick Abel should get an extended run in the Phillies' rotation while Nola is out. The club also has top prospect Andrew Painter lurking at Triple-A Lehigh Valley, but Painter is not expected to be a factor with the big club until the second half.

Manager Rob Thomson said Wednesday that Nola (ankle) will be shut down from throwing for a couple days due to right side stiffness, Jordan Horrobin of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nola was slated to throw another bullpen session Thursday as the next step in his recovery from a sprained right ankle, but the Phillies will instead push his next mound session back a few days. Thomson described the right-hander's side injury as "very mild," so it shouldn't impact his return timeline too much.

Nola (ankle) threw a bullpen session ahead of Sunday's series finale versus the Brewers, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nola is next expected to advance to live batting practice this week, and a minor-league rehab assignment is likely set to follow. The veteran right-hander has been on the injured list with a sprained right ankle since mid-May, but he's on track to re-enter Philadelphia's rotation at some point in mid-June. Although Nola isn't dealing with an injury to his throwing arm, it's possible the Phillies will want him to make more than one rehab start to sharpen up due to his poor 6.16 ERA and 1.51 WHIP through 49.2 innings on the season.

Nola (ankle) said Tuesday he will need a minor-league rehab assignment before rejoining the big-league rotation, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nola said he felt something in his sprained right ankle after throwing off a mound and is hopeful he'll be able to throw a higher-intensity bullpen session Thursday. The Phillies have the luxury of being patient with Nola, as Taijuan Walker has a 3.24 ERA and 1.20 WHIP in 16.2 innings through four appearances this month. Nola won't be able to return when first eligible, but he could potentially return in the second week of June.

Nola (ankle) isn't expected to resume throwing off a mound until the Phillies return home from their road trip that concludes Sunday in Sacramento, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After landing on the injured list May 16 due to a right ankle sprain, Nola was hopeful to throw a bullpen session this weekend during the Phillies' three-game series versus the Athletics, but it never materialized while he continued to experience some soreness, according to Matt Gelb of The Athletic. Assuming he's still able to get back on the mound within the next few days, Nola's return shouldn't be pushed back too much further, though the right-hander no longer looks to be a candidate to come off the 15-day injured list this Thursday when first eligible. With Nola still working through the ankle injury, Taijuan Walker is expected to make at least one more turn through the Philadelphia rotation.

Nola (ankle) played long toss ahead of Wednesday's game against the Rockies, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Phillies also hope Nola will be able to throw off a mound during their upcoming series against the Athletics, which begins Friday. The veteran right-hander is nursing a sprained right ankle that sent him to the injured list on May 15, and it's still unknown if he'll need a short minor-league rehab assignment before re-entering Philadelphia's rotation. Given that Nola isn't dealing with an injury to his throwing arm, it's possible he'll be ready to return in late May or early June if all goes well in his recovery.

The Phillies placed Nola on the 15-day injured list Friday with a right ankle sprain, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nola evidently suffered the injury prior to his start in Cleveland last week, which could at least partly explain why he's coughed up a whopping 13 runs over 8.2 innings in his last two outings. He will be eligible to return May 30, but it's unclear whether he will be ready to go on that date. Mick Abel is making a spot start in Nola's place Sunday versus the Pirates before Taijuan Walker re-enters the rotation.

Nola (1-7) allowed nine runs on 12 hits and a walk while striking out two over 3.2 innings to take the loss in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Nola's performance has taken a drastic turn for the worse lately, as he's allowed 13 runs, including five home runs, over his last 8.2 innings. He looked to be turning a corner in late April and early May, but that progress has been wiped out, with Wednesday's outing standing as his worst of the campaign so far. He's now at a 6.16 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 52:16 K:BB over 49.2 innings over nine starts. Nola is tentatively projected to make his next start at Colorado.
