Nola did not factor into the decision Thursday against the Mets, allowing three runs (two earned) on seven hits and one walk while striking out six over five innings.
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.

Phillies' Aaron Nola: No-decision Saturday
Rotowire
Nola didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Brewers after allowing three runs on six hits, including two home runs, and two walks across 4.2 innings. He struck out three.
Nola hasn't been involved in the decision in any of his last three starts, and he's on a run of seven consecutive outings in which he's allowed at least two earned runs. With only one quality start over that stretch, Nola isn't producing results, nor is he pitching deep enough into games to be a reliable arm in fantasy. He has a 5.72 ERA and a 1.40 WHIP across eight starts and 39.1 innings since the beginning of May. Nola's next start is slated to come at home against the Mets.

Phillies' Aaron Nola: Struggles in no-decision
Rotowire
Nola did not factor into the decision Sunday against the White Sox, allowing five runs on six hits and four walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out four.
Nola struggled with his command Sunday, throwing just 59 of his 98 pitches for strikes while matching a season high with four walks. Nola had been pitching better coming into the day, allowing just four runs over 11 innings in his previous two starts. Overall, the veteran right-hander sports a 5.86 ERA with a 1.45 WHIP and 68:22 K:BB across 13 starts (66 innings) this season. Nola will look to get back on track in his next outing, tentatively scheduled to come on the road in Milwaukee.

Phillies' Aaron Nola: Fans eight in no-decision
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.

Phillies' Aaron Nola: Goes on paternity list
Rotowire
The Phillies placed Nola on the paternity leave list Friday.
Nola will be away from the club for its weekend series on the road against the Dodgers as he welcomes a new baby to the family. The veteran righty's next start is tentatively scheduled to come Tuesday at home against the Padres, and Nola should be good to go to take the ball that day.

Phillies' Aaron Nola: Earns win with quality start
Rotowire
Nola (3-4) allowed two runs on three hits and struck out five without walking a batter over six innings to earn the win over the Padres on Tuesday.
Nola had allowed 13 runs across 13.1 innings over his last three starts, though he was fortunate to take just one loss in that span. He was better this time around, limiting the damage to a two-run home run by Manny Machado in the fourth inning after the Phillies had built up a four-run lead. Nola has walked zero batters three times over his last five outings, though he's also maxed out at five strikeouts (three times) in those games. He's now at a 5.72 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 56:18 K:BB through 56.2 innings over 11 starts this season. The right-hander's next start is projected to be at home in a rematch with the Padres.

Phillies' Aaron Nola: Stuck with fourth loss
Rotowire
Nola (2-4) took the loss Wednesday as the Phillies fell 9-4 to the Reds, giving up four runs on eight hits over five innings. He struck out five without walking a batter.
The veteran right-hander got tagged for three runs in the second inning, and while he left the mound after 77 pitches (55 strikes) without any homers or free passes allowed, the Phillies weren't able to climb out of that early hole. Nola has failed to record an out in the sixth inning in six of his last seven starts, and last year's struggles (6.01 ERA and 1.35 WHIP in 17 regular-season starts) may have simply been a harbinger of further decline. Nola will take a 6.04 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 51:18 K:BB through 50.2 innings into his next outing, which should come on the road early next week in San Diego.

Phillies' Aaron Nola: Escapes Pittsburgh with no-decision
Rotowire
Nola didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 11-9 extra-inning win over the Pirates, coughing up six runs on six hits and three walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out two.
The veteran right-hander labored through 80 pitches (47 strikes) and served up homers to Brandon Lowe and Marcell Ozuna before getting lifted with the Phillies down 6-1, but Nola's offense was able to bail him out. It's the third time in his last five starts that Nola has been tagged for five or more runs, and he'll carry a 5.91 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 46:18 K:BB through 45.2 innings into his next outing, which lines up to come at home next week against the Reds.

Phillies' Aaron Nola: Labors in no-decision
Rotowire
Nola didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Rockies, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks in 4.2 innings. He struck out three.
Nola came one out short of qualifying for the win Saturday, managing a fairly pedestrian performance all around despite a favorable matchup. The 32-year-old right-hander continues to struggle for consistency in 2026, as he's given up one or no runs on just two occasions through eight starts and exceeded five strikeouts just one time in his past six outings. Nola will bring a shaky 5.14 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 44:15 K:BB over 42 innings into his next appearance, which is set to come at Pittsburgh.

Phillies' Aaron Nola: Rebounds with six scoreless
Rotowire
Nola (2-3) earned the win Monday against the Marlins, allowing five hits while striking out five over six scoreless innings.
Nola turned in a much-needed bounce-back performance after dropping three of his previous four starts while allowing 17 runs over 20 innings during that stretch. The right-hander was in full control, not allowing a single Marlin to even reach second base, thanks in part to catcher Garrett Stubbs, who threw out two attempted base stealers. Despite the strong showing, Nola's season line still sits at a 5.06 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 40:13 K:BB across 37.1 innings. He's slated to face Colorado next, a matchup that saw Nola strikeout nine in a win last time out.

Phillies' Aaron Nola: Struggles continue Sunday
Rotowire
Nola (1-3) took the loss Sunday against Atlanta, allowing six runs on seven hits and three walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out six.
Atlanta got to Nola early Sunday. The righty gave up a three-run homer to Matt Olson in the first inning before giving up another three runs in the third, punctuated by an Eli White homer. Nola has failed to make it out of the fifth inning in back-to-back outings, allowing 11 runs in just nine frames in that span. His ERA is up to 6.03 through six starts (31.1 innings) with a 1.56 WHIP and 35:13 K:BB. Nola will look to turn things around in his next outing, tentatively scheduled for next week in Miami.

Phillies' Aaron Nola: Allows five runs in loss
Rotowire
Nola (1-2) took the loss Monday, allowing five runs on six hits and four walks over 4.1 innings against the Cubs. He struck out five.
Nola was undone by a four-run second inning, as a sinker left over the middle was turned into a three-run homer by Dansby Swanson. It's been a lackluster start for the veteran hurler, who has allowed three-plus runs in four of five starts and owns a 5.06 ERA and 1.46 WHIP across 26.2 innings. Nola will look to get back on track in his next outing, which is projected to come over the weekend against Atlanta.

Phillies' Aaron Nola: Goes five innings in no-decision
Rotowire
Nola didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Cubs, allowing three runs on eight hits and two walks with five strikeouts across five innings.
Nola dealt with a lot of traffic on the bases and was unable to hold onto an early 3-0 lead, as he gave up five hits and a couple of runs in the third inning before walking a pair ahead of a game-tying single in the fifth. No longer the top-of-the-rotation starter he once was as he closes in on his 33rd birthday and coming off a 6.01 ERA across 17 starts last season, Nola has logged a 4.03 ERA and 23:6 K:BB across 22.1 innings to begin the 2026 campaign. He's really struggled against left-handed hitters since the start of last season. Nola is in line to face the Cubs again in his next start Monday at Wrigley Field.

Phillies' Aaron Nola: Quality start in first loss
Rotowire
Nola (1-1) took the loss Wednesday against the Giants, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out three.
After keeping the Rockies quiet for just one run in his last start, Nola was hit a bit harder Wednesday. The right-hander had been cruising through five shutout frames but was ultimately tagged for three extra-base hits, and most of the damage to his ledger came courtesy of a three-run homer by Rafael Devers in the sixth inning. Nola has a quality 3.63 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 19:4 K:BB through 17.1 frames, which he'll be looking to build on in next week's scheduled outing against the Cubs.

Phillies' Aaron Nola: Sharp in victory
Rotowire
Nola (1-0) picked up the win Friday against the Rockies, allowing one run on five hits and one walk while striking out nine in 6.1 innings of work.
It certainly helped that the Phillies put up seven runs before he even took the mound, but that doesn't take away from how sharp Nola was. The 32-year-old kept the ball in the yard Friday at altitude after being burned with homers twice in his season-opening start against the Rangers and added nine strikeouts to bring his total up to 16 on the young season. Nola is next lined up to face the Giants on Wednesday.

Phillies' Aaron Nola: Strikes out seven against Texas
Rotowire
Nola allowed three runs on five hits and two walks across five innings in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Rangers. He struck out seven.
Nola was burned by the long ball, surrendering a solo shot to Corey Seager in the first inning before Jake Burger took Nola deep for a two-run home run in the third. The right-hander was let off the hook for the loss when the Phillies rallied to tie the game in the ninth inning. The homers have been a consistent theme for the 32-year-old, who served up 18 in 17 starts last year and at least 30 in each of the previous two regular seasons.

Phillies' Aaron Nola: Mixed bag in first spring outing
Rotowire
Nola gave up one run on two hits in two innings during Friday's Grapefruit League game against Miami. He struck out two.
It was a decent spring debut for Nola, who fired 20 pitches for strikes among his 31 offerings and induced six swings and misses. The 32-year-old right-hander got his fastball velocity up to 92.9 mph, which is an encouraging figure after he averaged just 91.4 mph amidst an injury-plagued 2025 campaign. Nola is hoping to rebound for the Phillies in 2026 -- he turned in a career-worst 6.01 ERA and 1.35 WHIP covering 17 regular-season starts last year.

Phillies' Aaron Nola: Abbreviated Game 3 outing
Rotowire
Nola was lifted after tossing two scoreless innings in Wednesday's NLDS Game 3 win over the Dodgers.
Nola pitched around a triple and a hit-by-pitch in the first inning before spinning a 1-2-3 second inning. Phillies manager Rob Thomson then pulled him in favor of Ranger Suarez, as it was clear the skipper never had any intention of letting Nola face the Dodgers' batting order a second time. Nola threw only 31 pitches in the outing, so he should be available to pitch for the Phillies again soon, though it's unclear whether Thomson plans to use the righty again during the NLDS.

Phillies' Aaron Nola: Spins gem Friday
Rotowire
Nola (5-10) earned the win against the Twins on Friday, allowing one run on two hits with nine strikeouts over eight innings. He did not issue a walk.
Nola looked like his old self Friday, throwing 56 of 90 pitches for strikes and retiring the first 17 batters he faced before giving up a solo homer in the sixth. Per Todd Zolecki of MLB.com, the 32-year-old passed Robin Roberts for second place on the Phillies' all-time strikeout list. Despite the strong finish, this has been a career-worst regular season for Nola, who ends with a 6.01 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 97:28 K:BB across 94.1 innings.
