It's early, but Nola has already shown Phillies manager Pete Mackanin signs that he might turn the corner this season. The 23-year-old has looked sharp and composed in his first two starts, notching 13 strikeouts to just two walks in nine innings.
For the second time in three starts, Syndergaard left an outing early due to a finger issue; on Friday, it was a pair of split nails. He plans to attach fake nails in advance of his start against the Phillies, hoping that will solve the problem.
