LAKELAND, Fla. - Aaron Nola's second start of spring training was cut short Tuesday afternoon because of a high pitch count, but the righthander was mostly concerned about his elbow, which caused him to miss the final two months of last season.
"I think going forward right now maintaining a healthy body and healthy arm is big for me," Nola said. "So far it's been healthy. I feel really good."
Nola was scheduled to pitch the first three innings of an 11-6 Grapefruit League win over Detroit at Joker Marchant Stadium. He was finished after needing 40 pitches to get through two innings.
