Nola (7-12) took the loss against the Rays on Saturday, allowing three runs on four hits in one inning. He did not record a walk or a strikeout.
Working on two days' rest but trying to help his club make the postseason, Nola was jumped for three runs in the first inning before departing. It was a tough regular-season finale for the veteran, though he'll finish the second half with a solid 3.33 ERA over 14 starts since the All-Star break. Overall, he posted a 4.67 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 177:59 K:BB across 175.1 innings this season and may be an option to start should the Phillies make the playoffs.

Phillies' Aaron Nola: Starting on short rest
Rotowire
Nola will start Saturday's game against the Rays, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
The Phillies will send Nola back to the mound Saturday after just two days' rest as they look to clinch the final wild-card spot in the National League. Because the 33-year-old just threw six innings Wednesday against the Brewers, the Phillies will likely limit him to around two or three innings Saturday before turning things over to their bullpen.

Phillies' Aaron Nola: Falls to Milwaukee
Rotowire
Nola (7-11) took the loss Wednesday against the Brewers, allowing four runs on four hits and a walk across six innings. He struck out eight.
Nola gave up solo home runs to Brice Turang and Christian Yelich in the first two innings before William Contreras tacked on two more runs with a two-out single in the third. Nola had been rolling coming into Wednesday's contest -- he held opponents to two runs or fewer in each of his previous eight outings, posting a 1.86 ERA across 48.1 innings in that span. The veteran right-hander will likely finish the regular season with a 4.54 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 177:59 K:BB across 32 starts (174.1 innings).

Rotowire
Nola (7-10) tallied the win Thursday against the Mets, striking out four while allowing three hits and three walks in seven scoreless innings.
Nola carried a no-hit bid into the sixth inning, inducing 10 groundouts while scattering three hits on the evening. The veteran right-hander is finding his peak form ahead of the postseason for the Phillies, conceding two earned runs or fewer in eight straight starts to produce a 1.86 ERA during that stretch following an abysmal start to the year.

Phillies' Aaron Nola: Continues resurgence with victory
Rotowire
Nola (6-10) earned the win over Arizona on Monday, allowing one run on five hits and two walks while striking out four batters over five innings.
Nola yielded just one extra-base hit -- a third-inning double that also produced the only run against him. The right-hander did rack up a hefty 104 pitches over his five frames, but he mostly held Arizona in check and extended his streak of allowing two or fewer runs to five straight starts. Nola entered August with a 3-9 record and a 5.61 ERA, but he turned things around considerably during the month, going 3-1 with a 2.65 ERA and a 41:12 K:BB across 34 innings spanning six starts. The veteran hurler will look to continue building momentum the next time he takes the mound, which is scheduled to be a home tilt against Atlanta.

Phillies' Aaron Nola: Quality start not enough Tuesday
Rotowire
Nola (5-10) took the loss Tuesday against the Mariners after allowing two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out seven over six innings.
Nola turned in a strong performance but was stuck with the loss. He surrendered a solo homer to Cal Raleigh in the second inning but kept Seattle off the board over the next three frames before Josh Naylor's RBI single broke a 1-1 tie in the sixth. Nola has pitched considerably better of late, posting a 2.79 ERA across five starts and 29 innings in August, but Philadelphia's offense provided little support Tuesday. His season ERA dropped from 5.12 to 5.03 with this quality start, and he's lined up to make his next start on the road against the Diamondbacks next week.

Phillies' Aaron Nola: Snaps lengthy win drought
Rotowire
Nola (4-9) earned the win Thursday against the Twins, allowing one run on five hits and three walks while striking out nine over five innings.
Nola threw 58 of his 97 pitches for strikes and secured his first victory since May 26. His lone blemish was a solo homer by Luke Keaschall in the second inning, increasing his MLB-leading total to 30 home runs allowed this season. The right-hander finished on a strong note, recording three strikeouts in the fifth to escape a bases-loaded jam. Nola has now completed at least five innings in eight straight starts while piling up 51 strikeouts across 45 innings during that span. He'll carry a 5.33 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 138:46 K:BB across 130 innings into his next scheduled start Wednesday at home against Miami.

Phillies' Aaron Nola: Ready to start Thursday
Rotowire
Nola (knee) is listed as the Phillies' probable pitcher Thursday against the Twins in the 2026 MLB at Field of Dreams game in Dyersville, Iowa.
Nola sustained a right knee contusion after he was struck by a 104.8-mph comebacker during the sixth inning of his previous start Saturday versus the Blue Jays, but the injury is viewed as a mild concern that won't keep him from making his next turn through the rotation. Though he's continued to strike out more than a batter per inning in his age-33 season, Nola has done more harm than good for fantasy managers. He's notched just three wins in 24 starts and has served up a MLB-high 29 home runs, which has played a large part in inflating both his ERA (5.47) and WHIP (1.45).

Phillies' Aaron Nola: Exits early Saturday
Rotowire
Nola was removed from Saturday's game against the Blue Jays after being hit with a comebacker off his lower right leg in the top of the sixth inning, Paul Casella of MLB.com reports.
Jesus Sanchez sent a 104.8-mph line drive up the middle, which struck Nola in the right leg and fell in for an infield single. The 33-year-old threw a couple of warmup pitches after the play, but he was unable to continue. Nola was charged with two earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out eight before departing.

Phillies' Aaron Nola: Tagged with loss Tuesday
Rotowire
Nola (3-9) was tagged with the loss Tuesday against the Marlins after allowing one run in 5.2 innings, giving up five hits and three walks while striking out four.
Nola gave up a solo shot to Kyle Stowers in the bottom of the first inning, and while he limited the damage the rest of the way, the offense didn't provide him any support. This marks the first time Nola has allowed fewer than two earned runs since May 4, when he tossed six scoreless innings against the Marlins, as the veteran hurler has been hard to trust in fantasy all season long. Nola owns a 5.49 ERA with a 1.45 WHIP and 60:21 K:BB across 11 starts and 57.1 innings since the beginning of June. He's scheduled to make his next start Monday at home against the Nationals.

Phillies' Aaron Nola: Runs out of gas in loss
Rotowire
Nola (3-8) took the loss against the Dodgers on Wednesday, allowing five runs on seven hits and one walk with four strikeouts over 5.1 innings.
Nola entered the fifth inning with a 2-1 lead but allowed a two-run double in the frame before surrendering what proved to be a decisive two-run homer in the sixth. Despite entering the contest having yielded just eight earned runs with two quality starts over his past three outings, the 33-year-old is now 0-3 in July and last recorded a win May 26. He'll take a 5.82 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 112:36 K:BB across 108.1 innings this season and lines up for a road matchup with the Marlins next week.

Phillies' Aaron Nola: Fans eight in no-decision
Rotowire
Nola didn't factor into the decision Friday, giving up two runs on three hits and two walks over five innings as the Phillies fell 10-2 to the Tigers. He struck out eight.
The veteran right-hander was lifted after 84 pitches (50 strikes) with the score tied 2-2, falling short of his sixth quality start of the season, only to see his bullpen implode. Nola has struggled to put together a consistent stretch of success this season, but he's lasted at least five innings and allowed three runs or fewer in four of his last five outings, posting a 5.47 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 31:7 K:BB over 26.1 innings during that span.

Phillies' Aaron Nola: Takes loss despite quality start
Rotowire
Nola (3-6) took the loss Sunday against the Royals, allowing three runs on seven hits while striking out seven over seven innings.
Nola was tagged for two runs in the first inning after Kansas City recorded three hits through five batters, but he settled in nicely from there. The veteran allowed just one more run over his final six innings and finished strong by striking out the side in the seventh. It marked his longest outing of the season, and he generated an impressive 19 whiffs. The performance was a much-needed rebound after he was tagged for a season-high eight runs in his previous start against the Pirates. Nola remains hard to trust in fantasy, owning a 5.87 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 94:29 K:BB across 92 innings. He is scheduled to face the Tigers on the road next.

Phillies' Aaron Nola: Falters in fifth loss
Rotowire
Nola (3-5) took the loss Monday against the Pirates, allowing eight runs (seven earned) on eight hits and two walks in 4.1 innings. He struck out five.
Nola came away with three scoreless innings to begin his outing, but he fell apart while giving up two runs in the fourth frame and six more in the fifth. The 33-year-old right-hander has struggled to keep runs off the board all year long, surrendering at least three earned runs in 11 of his 17 starts now. Nola's 6.04 ERA and 1.49 WHIP through 85 innings are career-worst figures, and he'll remain difficult to trust in fantasy leagues this weekend despite facing a soft matchup against the lowly Royals.

Phillies' Aaron Nola: Solid in no-decision
Rotowire
Nola did not factor into the decision in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Nationals, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out five.
Nola's night got off to a shaky start, as he gave up two runs on a pair of solo homers in the first two innings. However, he'd settle in and hold Washington scoreless over his final three frames before the Phillies rallied late in a one-run victory. While Nola's pitched better of late, allowing four runs over 10 innings in his last two starts, he's failed to make it through six innings in any of his last five outings. Overall, his ERA sits at 5.58 with a 1.45 WHIP and 82:27 K:BB across 80.2 innings. Nola is tentatively lined up to face the Pirates at home in his next start.

The veteran right-hander generated 10 whiffs on 97 pitches, with most of the damage against him coming via a pair of solo homers from Juan Soto. Despite the solid strikeout total, Nola continues to search for consistency in what has been a difficult campaign. He's failed to cover more than five frames in any of his past five starts and has a 5.68 ERA during that span. Nola will carry a 5.71 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 77:25 K:BB into his next scheduled start on the road against Washington.

Rotowire
Nola didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Padres, allowing two runs on four hits over five innings. He struck out eight without walking a batter.
The veteran righty has gone three straight starts without issuing a free pass as he tries to regain his form following a rough month from mid-April to mid-May. Over his last three outings, Nola's delivered a 0.94 WHIP and 18:0 K:BB in 16 innings, a performance that isn't reflected in his 4.50 ERA during that stretch. He'll look to keep rolling in his next trip to the mound, which is set to come at home this weekend against the White Sox.
