Austin Nola - Page 3 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Not in Sunday's lineup Nola (hand/nose) isn't starting Sunday's spring game against the Mariners as previously reported, Bob Scanlan of Bally Sports San Diego reports.

Impact The 33-year-old exited a minor-league contest Saturday after taking a foul tip off his non-catching hand, and he's not in the lineup Sunday despite an earlier report indicating otherwise. Nola also suffered a fractured nose when he was hit in the face by a pitch March 19. According to AJ Cassavell of MLB.com, the veteran backstop is scheduled to hit in the cage Sunday and rejoin the lineup for Monday's Cactus League finale, so his outlook for Opening Day doesn't appear to be in question.

Returns to lineup Nola (hand/nose) is back in the lineup for Sunday's Cactus League game against the Mariners, Bob Scanlan of Bally Sports San Diego reports.

Impact Nola took a foul ball off his hand in a minor-league contest Saturday, and he also suffered a fractured nose after being hit in the face by a pitch March 19. The backstop is feeling well enough to play in an exhibition contest, however, and it appears there's a good chance Nola will be ready to roll for the beginning of the regular season.

Departs game after hit to hand Nola (nose) left a minor-league contest Saturday after taking a foul tip to his non-catching hand, Bob Scanlan of Bally Sports San Diego reports.

Impact It hasn't been the most enjoyable spring for Nola, who suffered a fractured nose after getting hit in the face by a pitch March 19. He returned to the field Saturday to catch for Yu Darvish in a minor-league contest, but the backstop was forced to depart after taking a foul tip to his left hand. Nola was already uncertain for Opening Day due to the nose injury, and it's uncertain whether the hand issue will further complicate his ability to be ready for Thursday's opener.

Resumes baseball activities Nola (nose) will go through baseball activities Wednesday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact Nola suffered a broken nose as a result of a hit-by-pitch during Sunday's Cactus League game against the Cubs. However, while surely still in some pain, he has not been ruled out for Opening Day. Being able to get through Wednesday's workout with no issues figures to go a long way in determining his status.

Impact Melvin also noted that Nola could resume baseball activities as soon as Wednesday. No decisions on Nola's status for Opening Day have been made yet, but the possibility of him playing still being on the table is a good sign. If he is unable to play, Luis Campusano would likely get the majority of the reps behind the plate for San Diego.

Impact Nola was carted off the field after getting hit by a pitch in the face during the fourth inning of Sunday's exhibition game against the Cubs. The extent of the injury is unclear, but if Nola isn't ready to return in time for Opening Day, Luis Campusano would likely open the campaign as San Diego's primary backstop.

Impact Nola was down for several minutes after being hit by the pitch, and he had to be helped to the cart while pressing a towel to his face. The Padres have a day off Monday, but the severity of the catcher's injury isn't yet clear. If Nola is forced to miss any time, Luis Campusano and Pedro Severino would see additional playing time behind the dish.

MARCH 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back in action Thursday Nola (illness) will start at catcher and bat third in Thursday's Cactus League game against the Guardians.

Impact Nola will return to the spring lineup for the first time since Monday, after a bout with the flu left him unavailable for the past couple of days. The 33-year-old is once again projected to serve as the Padres' top backstop in 2023, though his standing atop the depth chart is more unsteady than it was heading into last season after he turned in a career-worst .650 OPS over 397 plate appearances in 2022.

MARCH 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scratched due to flu Nola was scratched from the Padres' Cactus League lineup Tuesday due to flu-like symptoms.

Impact Nola should be good to go after a day or two of rest and fluids. Pedro Severino will get the start at catcher in his place Tuesday afternoon against the Angels.

Settles with San Diego Nola signed a one-year, $2.35 million contract with the Padres on Friday to avoid arbitration, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Impact Nola put up a disappointing .649 OPS for the Padres last season while making a career-high 94 starts at catcher. He'll enter the 2023 campaign atop the depth chart but figures to cede a good amount of playing time to Luis Campusano.
