MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Phillies also hope Nola will be able to throw off a mound during their upcoming series against the Athletics, which begins Friday. The veteran right-hander is nursing a sprained right ankle that sent him to the injured list on May 15, and it's still unknown if he'll need a short minor-league rehab assignment before re-entering Philadelphia's rotation. Even if Nola is trending toward a brief absence, the Phillies may still want him to get in some reps in the minors given his 6.16 ERA through his first nine starts of 2025.
