Aaron Nola (ankle) has been shut down from throwing temporarily due to right side soreness.
Nola’s upcoming live batting practice session, which was set for Thursday at the Rogers Centre, has been scrapped for precautionary reasons. Phillies manager Rob Thomson classified the side soreness as “very mild” in nature, but the club can’t really afford to take any chances and risk a full-blown oblique strain. The 32-year-old veteran righty should resume throwing in some capacity later this week. The setback pushes his return back even further, likely until at least late June.
