Sportsnaut on MSNNL East Notes: Phillies’ Aaron Nola Bombs in Comeback Start, Mets Finally Win Series
It was a day to forget for Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Aaron Nola as he made his first start in three months.
Saturday night, news dropped that the Phillies were placing ace righty Zack Wheeler on the injured list due to a blood clot in his shoulder area. More on that in a second. Sunday, veteran right-hander Aaron Nola returned from a lengthy stint on the injured list.
Aaron Nola hit another wall in his return, but the Phillies were able to overcome it to split a four-game set in D.C., though now with the high uncertainy of Zack Wheeler's status looming.
PHILADELPHIA - Phillies pitcher Zack Wheeler had a successful thrombolysis procedure to remove a blood clot in his right upper extremity by Dr. Paul DiMuzio at Thomas Jefferson Hospital on Monday, the Phillies announced. The club said further treatment and a subsequent timeline of recovery will be determined.
