Aaron Nola fans eight in no-decision vs. Tigers

Aaron Nola

PHI Starting Pitcher #27

Player Stats

Aaron Nola pitched well in a no-decision against the Tigers on Friday night, allowing just two runs on three hits over five strong frames.

Nola piled up eight strikeouts in the contest while issuing a pair of walks. All of the damage done against him came on one mighty swing of the bat by Kevin McGonigle in the third inning. Aside from that, Nola was in complete command. He got 14 swings and misses on 84 pitches on the night — six of those on his knuckle curve — registering a CSW of 31 percent. The 33-year-old righty heads into the All-Star break with a 3-6 5.75 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and a 102/31 K/BB ratio over 97 innings through his first 19 starts. Aside from the strikeouts, he has been an unmitigated disaster for fantasy purposes.

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.

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.

PHI Starting Pitcher #27

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.

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.

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.

PHI Starting Pitcher #27

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.

Ty France hit a solo homer in a win over the Blue Jays on Saturday.

France broke a 7-7 knot with a homer to left field to give San Diego the 8-7 lead and ultimately the victory. The 31-year-old has been a surprising source of power for the Padres in 2026, as he’s up to 11 homers on the campaign with an excellent .490 slugging percentage. Skepticism is understandable, but don’t forget that France was a solid option not that long ago. It’s not insane to think he’s refinding that form in his return to his first organization.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. homered and stole a base, but it wasn’t enough for the Blue Jays on Saturday in an 8-7 loss to the Padres.

Guerrero’s three-run homer tied the game at 7-7, and was a towering shot over the left-field wall off Bradgley Rodriguez. That’s just the sixth homer of the season for Guerrero, but it’s the second time in three games, for those looking for hope heading into the break. Guerrero is as good of bet as any disappointing hitter in baseball to bounce back with a big second half after the All-Star break.

Mason Miller allowed no runs over a scoreless inning while picking up a save against the Blue Jays on Saturday.

Miller did put the tying run on base, but he was able to work around that knock without trouble while fanning a pair. It’s been nothing short of a dominant first half for the 27-year-old; one that has seen him save 24 games with a sparking 0.93 ERA. In a different era, Miller would likely be in the Cy Young conversation.

Walker Buehler allowed four runs over two innings in a no-decision against the Blue Jays on Saturday.

Buehler had horrendous control of his arsenal with four walks and just 34-of-65 pitches landing in the strike zone, and yet he was Greg Maddux compared to Trey Yesavage (seven walks, 20-of-59 pitches for strikes). The right-hander has just not looked the part as of late, and he’s seen his ERA bump up to 5.36 from the 3.81 it sat at just four outings ago. Buehler’s next start will come after the All-Star break, but it sure seems like his place in the San Diego rotation should be up for debate.

Trey Yesavage gave up four runs while going just 1 2/3 innings but didn’t factor into the decision Sunday against the Padres.

If you like games that feature pitchers throwing strikes — also known as a ‘normal human being’ in some parts — this one wasn’t for you. Toronto and San Diego combined for a whopping 17 free passes in this one, and Yesavage was responsible for relatively close to half of those walks. Four of them came in the first inning, including three to begin the outing and a bases-loaded base on balls a batter later. He threw just 20 of his 59 pitches for strikes, and he issued just one strikeout. Yesavage had solid prior to Saturday, so the hope is that this is just a one-off for the 22-year-old.

Nolan Arenado hit a homer while going 1-for-3 with two runs scored in a win over the Dodgers on Saturday.

Arenado also drew a walk. The 35-year-old took Landon Knack deep for his 12th homer of the season and extended the D-backs’ lead to 9-2. Arenado has hit .243/.318/.413 in his first season with Arizona, and while that’s a far cry from his best seasons with the Rockies and briefly with the Cardinals, it’s serviceable. You can do worse than serviceable.

James McCann homered twice in a win for the Diamondbacks on Tuesday over the Dodgers.

Yep, that James McCann. He cemented the blowout with a three-run homer off Yoshinobu Yamamoto — yep, that’s Yoshinobu Yamamoto — and he added another with a solo shot against Landon Knack. McCann is not in Arizona for his offense, and while this was an impressive effort, it’s impossible to predict any sort of consistent replication.

Brandon Pfaadt worked around eight hits to allow only two runs over 5 1/3 innings in a win over the Dodgers on Saturday.

Pfaadt scattered six hits, and he didn’t walk anyone while procuring a pair of strikeouts. It makes back-to-back solid starts against solid lineups for the 27-year-old, and it lowers his ERA to 4.70 on the campaign. Since being recalled from Triple-A, Pfaadt has allowed just four runs over 15 2/3 innings, and he’ll look to keep the good run going after the All-Star break.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto allowed six runs in as many innings to pick up a loss against the Diamondbacks on Saturday in a 9-2 loss for the Dodgers.

Yamamoto allowed five hits, and he struck out six while issuing four walks. The normally effective — effective seems like an understatement — was solid over the first five innings with just one run allowed, but fell apart in the sixth while allowing a five-piece; including a three-run homer from James McCann. Yamamoto’s first half was excellent despite this clunker, and he’ll be one of the first starters for the Dodgers after the break. It’s worth noting he’s not pitching in the All-Star break, so fantasy managers won’t have to wait long.
