Ivan Nova (foot, ankle) made it through a bullpen session Thursday with no issues and is expected to make his next scheduled start Saturday against the Reds. Nova left his start Monday with a contusion and sprain of his right foot and ankle, but it's nothing serious. The 25-year-old right-hander will bring a 5.44 ERA into Saturday's outing.
