Nova was hit by a line drive but was able to complete his throwing session Sunday, ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nova took the liner off the bat of the powerful Aaron Judge, but it deflected first and the pitcher appears to have avoided any injury. The 28-year-old struggled to the tune of a 5.07 ERA in his first season back after Tommy John surgery and could be the odd man out of a six person race for a spot in the starting rotation. He could see the occasional spot start or get a starting role in the event of injury, but for now Nova looks likely to start the season working out of the bullpen.
