Aaron Nola strikes out six Mets in no-decision

Aaron Nola

PHI Starting Pitcher #27

Player Stats

Aaron Nola pitched decently in a no-decision against the Mets on Thursday evening, allowing three runs (two earned) on seven hits over his five innings of work.

The 33-year-old right-hander racked up six strikeouts on the night while issuing a pair of walks. Most of the damage done against him came on a pair of solo home runs by Juan Soto. He also allowed an RBI double to AJ Ewing in the opening inning. Nola got 10 whiffs on 97 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of 31 percent. He’ll try to get back in the win column as he carries a 5.71 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and a 77/25 K/BB ratio (75 2/3 innings) into Wednesday’s start against the Nationals in Washington.

Aaron Nola

PHI Starting Pitcher #27

Aaron Nola was lit up for eight runs — seven earned — in 4 2/3 innings by the Pirates on Monday.

The Phillies gave Nola five runs through the first three innings, only for Nola to allow two runs in the fourth and six in the fifth. With a 23 percent strikeout rate, Nola is still missing enough bats to seemingly be of some use as a fourth or fifth starter. Still, the hooks have to come quicker. One option would be to use an opener for him, but the problem there is that he’s actually done his best work this season in the first innings of games. The loss tonight leaves him 3-5 with a 6.04 ERA ahead of a date with the Royals.

PHI Starting Pitcher #27

Aaron Nola allowed two runs over five innings on Wednesday in a no-decision against the Nationals.

Nola was long gone by the time Philadelphia mounted another late-inning rally. He struck out five and managed to hold Washington to just solo homers by Luis García Jr. and Jorbit Vivas across five innings of work. He’ll face off against the Pirates in his next outing on Monday to open a two-start week.
Aaron Nola

PHI Starting Pitcher #27

Aaron Nola departed after allowing three runs in 4 2/3 innings Saturday against the Brewers.

The Phillies busted out with five runs in the top of the sixth, so Nola presumably would have gotten a win if he had completed five tonight. The Brewers, though, pulled him after a homer with one out and a single with two outs in the fifth. It was Nola’s second straight outing in which he was pulled in the fifth inning of an eventual Phillies win. The Phillies have managed to go 8-6 in his starts, but he’s just 3-4 with a 5.86 ERA. He’ll face the Mets next.
Aaron Nola

PHI Starting Pitcher #27

Aaron Nola pitched 4 1/3 innings on Sunday against the White Sox, yielding five earned runs on six hits while striking out four.

Nola also allowed four walks in the no-decision, raising his ERA to 5.86 on the year. The 33-year-old rediscovered some velocity this season, but it hasn’t helped much, and his ERA is hovering around 6 dating back to last year. The two highest HR/9 rates of his career have come over the past two seasons. As usual, Nola’s ERA estimators paint a more optimistic picture going forward. He draws a tough matchup on the road in Milwaukee for his next start.
Aaron Nola

PHI Starting Pitcher #27

Aaron Nola pitched five innings of two-run ball and struck out eight Tuesday against the Padres.

Both runs came on a Gavin Sheets homer in the third. Nola averaged a season-high 93.4 mph with his fastball (1.3 mph better than average) and 92.9 mph with his sinker (1.7 mph better than average), which might have played a role in him getting 11 whiffs and six strikeouts with his curve. If he can hold on to those gains, he might reemerge as a fringy mixed-league option. Still, there’s no reason to grab him just yet. He’ll face the White Sox next.

Phillies activated RHP Aaron Nola from the paternity list.

Nola will come off the paternity list and right into a start against the Padres, who he held to two runs in six innings on Wednesday. It has still been a season to forget for Nola so far, so we’d try not to start him in fantasy leagues for this one if possible.

Phillies placed RHP Aaron Nola on the paternity list.

The 32-year-old hurler will be away from the team for a couple of days as he welcomes a new addition to the family. Nolan Hoffman was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move to add a fresh arm to the Phillies’ bullpen.
Aaron Nola

PHI Starting Pitcher #27

Aaron Nola allowed two runs and struck out five batters over six innings in a win over the Padres on Tuesday.

Nola had retired the first 11 Padres hitters before Gavin Sheets reached on an infield hit in the fourth inning. Manny Machado followed with a two-run homer. Nola settled back in for two more scoreless innings, giving up just one more hit. He issued zero walks and struck out five batters on 12 whiffs. The 32-year-old right-hander ends the day with a 5.72 ERA, 1.45 WHIP, and a 56/18 K/BB ratio across 56 2/3 innings. He’ll look to keep working away at those ratios when he takes on these same Padres in Philadelphia next Tuesday.

Aaron Nola lost to the Reds after giving up four runs and eight hits in five innings on Wednesday.

Three of the runs came in the second, when the Reds racked up four hits. Nola wasn’t hit particularly hard today, with four of the eight hits he allowed coming on soft liners. He struck out five. Still, this is a pretty typical outing for him these days. He’ll take a 2-4 record and a 6.04 ERA into his next outing in San Diego.
Aaron Nola

PHI Starting Pitcher #27

Aaron Nola allowed six earned runs and walked three batters in 3 2/3 innings against the Pirates on Friday.

Ugly. Nola has now given up five or more earned runs in three of his last five starts. Both Brandon Lowe and Marcell Ozuna took him out and he left the Phillies in a 6-0 hole. The average fastball velocity is sitting near 92 mph and all eight of his hard-hit balls allowed came against his four-seamer, sinker, and cutter. He had a 6.01 ERA in 17 starts in 2025 with a 1.35 WHIP. He has a 5.91 ERA in nine starts in 2026 with a 1.55 WHIP. It’d be hard to trust him against the Reds next week.

Hunter Goodman was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday’s showdown against the Dodgers with a wrist injury.

Goodman said he jammed his wrist during Monday’s game on a play at the plate. He’ll undergo further evaluation and possibly imaging to determine the severity of the issue. The 26-year-old All-Star backstop was in Colorado’s initial lineup at DH but has since been replaced by Mickey Moniak. He’s had a phenomenal first half, launching 27 home runs in 85 games. There should be some additional clarity on his status at some point this week.

Jackson Jobe (elbow) allowed one run over 1 1/3 innings on Tuesday in a minor league rehab start for Low-A Lakeland.

Jobe hit triple digits with a pair of fastballs, according to MLB.com’s Jason Beck. The 23-year-old former top prospect threw 24 of 32 pitches for strikes in his first rehab outing since last year’s Tommy John surgery. He’ll need a handful of additional starts to continue building up his pitch count and stamina before he’s an option for Detroit’s pitching staff. He figures to be ready to contribute at some point during the second half.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed Shohei Ohtani is on track to start against the Diamondbacks on Friday.

It’s a reassuring update after Ohtani dealt with a right biceps issue last week. The 32-year-old two-way superstar struck out nine and allowed three runs over six innings against the Padres last Friday before exiting that contest with biceps tightness. Roberts added that he doesn’t anticipate Ohtani participating in the All-Star Home Run Derby or pitching in next week’s Midsummer Classic, but could see him getting an at-bat or two in the contest.

Nick Pivetta (elbow) has progressed to throwing bullpen sessions.

It’s the first substantive update regarding Pivetta’s progress since he landed on the shelf with a right elbow flexor strain back in mid-April. The 33-year-old strikeout artist will continue ramping up his throwing progression in the coming weeks and should be ready for a couple minor league rehab starts in August. It sounds like there’s a decent chance he makes it back to San Diego at some point in the second half.
