NEW YORK — Right-hander Aaron Nola faced hitters at Yankee Stadium on Friday afternoon. The next time he does that could be on a Triple-A mound.
After throwing a successful live batting practice before the start of the Phillies’ three-game series in New York, the veteran starter told reporters he’s eyeing a rehab assignment in the minor leagues with Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
“Everything felt normal,” Nola said. “I think I’m ready to go out and pitch in Lehigh in a game situation.”
Out since May 15, Nola was transferred to the 60-day injured list on June 19.
