Phillies manager Rob Thomson addressed the media on Wednesday morning. Immediately following an informal team workout at Citizens Bank Park, the Phillies will head on a plane to Houston ahead of Game 1 of the World Series, which begins Friday.
Here are some quick takeaways from Thomson’s press conference.
- Aaron Nola will start Game 1 for the Phillies on Friday. Zack Wheeler gets the ball for Game 2. The Phillies just want to give Wheeler an extra day of rest. Wheeler did take a liner to the back of the leg in Game 5, but Thomson believes he’s going to be OK.
