MAY 5, 2021 • Associated Press

First hit of season Nola went 1-for-2 with an RBI double and a walk in Monday's 2-0 victory over Pittsburgh.

Impact Nola missed most of April with a broken finger and this was only his second start of the season. Encouragingly, he has started two of the last three games -- once against a righty and once against a lefty.

Sits after first start Nola is not in the lineup Sunday against the Giants, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact The 31-year-old went 0-for-3 with a strikeout in his first start of the season Saturday, and he'll shift back to the bench for Sunday's series finale. Nola is expected to split time behind the plate with Victor Caratini for the near future.

To share catching duties for now Nola will split time behind the plate with Victor Caratini for the time being, Bill Center of FriarWire reports.

Impact Nola was activated from the injured list Wednesday and served as a pinch hitter that night before getting his first start Saturday. The backstop is likely to eventually emerge as the Padres' primary catcher, but he'll function in more of a time split with Caratini in the immediate future. "Realistically, we have the opportunity to have a great combination with both guys back there," said manager Jayce Tingler. "Victor has played extremely well, he's done a great job with the staff. Also, Nola, having some issues with the finger and some swelling and things like that, I don't think we've got him built up to go four on, one-off. There's the opportunity to split some time and keep both guys active."

Set for first start Nola will make his first start of the season Saturday against San Francisco, catching and batting eighth, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Impact The late-blooming backstop missed most of the first month of the season with a broken finger. The exact playing-time split between him and Victor Caratini remains to be seen, but Nola should be set to take over as the primary option. He didn't start his first game back Wednesday and remained on the bench Friday so that Caratini could keep his role as Yu Darvish's personal catcher, but he should find himself in the lineup on a regular basis going forward.

Not yet starting Nola is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Giants, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact Nola will presumably eventually fill an important role for the Padres, as he's hit .270/.346/.460 through his first 128 games, numbers that would play anywhere, not just behind the plate. He made his season debut off the bench Wednesday after missing the start of the year with a broken finger and will wait at least one more day before making his first start of the year. Victor Caratini remains the starting catcher Friday with Yu Darvish on the mound.

Makes season debut as pinch hitter Nola flied out in a pinch-hit appearance during Wednesday's 12-3 victory over the Diamondbacks.

Impact After spending the Padres' first 25 games on the shelf with a fractured left middle finger, Nola finally made his 2021 debut Wednesday. He came on in the ninth inning for his first plate appearance of the campaign and stayed in the game for the bottom of the frame, taking over at second base -- a position he has plenty of experience at in both the minors and majors. Nola figures to function as the Padres' primary catcher moving forward, but his ability to play the infield could certainly help him get some extra at-bats over the course of the long season.

Back from injured list Wednesday Nola (finger) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Impact The 31-year-old has been sidelined for the first month of the season from a fractured middle finger on his left hand, but he'll join the major-league roster ahead of Wednesday's series finale in Arizona. Nola is poised to take over as San Diego's primary catcher, though he could make his season debut off the bench with Victor Caratini starting behind the plate versus the Diamondbacks.

Could be activated this weekend Nola (finger) could be activated this weekend against the Giants, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact Last week, manager Jayce Tingler said it was realistic that Nola could return for the first series of the week, but that now seems unlikely. Victor Caratini will continue to serve as the primary catcher until Nola is activated.

Could be back Tuesday Manager Jayce Tingler said "it's realistic" that Nola could return for the team's upcoming series against Arizona, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Impact Nola has been participating in games at the team's alternate site since April 20. He's missed the entirety of the regular season to this point, though figures to take over behind the plate so long as he can manage the pain in his finger. Nola's return will cut into the role of both Luis Campusano -- who has served as the team's backup catcher -- and Victor Caratini.

Cleared to return to action Nola (finger) has been given the green light to begin playing games at the Padres' alternate training site, Daniel Guerrero of MLB.com reports.

Impact Nola has been gradually working his way back from the fracture to his middle finger on his left hand. He has been throwing to bases and is now able to take batting practice and play in games following an encouraging CT scan. It's unclear when he may return to the big-league squad given his long layoff, which has extended to over a month. "We'll kind of wait and see how the rhythm and timing goes," manager Jayce Tingler said, "but we're really encouraged that finally we're at the stage where he hadn't had any setbacks and the doctors feel like he can't injure it or it can't get worse." Tingler added that Nola's ability to participate in games is "going to be a matter of playing through pain."
