Phillies RHP Aaron Nola to skip planned throwing session because of soreness in right side

Injured Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola will not throw a scheduled live batting session Thursday because of mild soreness on his right side, manager Rob Thomson said Wednesday

JUNE 4, 2025 • Associated Press

Called up for start The Phillies recalled Abel from Triple-A Lehigh Valley ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday in Toronto.

Impact Zack Wheeler (personal) was placed on the paternity list in a corresponding move, but Abel will be taking over the rotation spot that had previously been occupied by Taijuan Walker, who has been moved to a relief role. Walker had been filling in for Aaron Nola (ankle), who has resumed throwing off a mound and should eventually take the rotation spot back from Abel once he's activated from the 15-day injured list. Nola will likely need to make a rehab start in the minors before being reinstated, so Abel should be in good position to get at least two turns through the rotation while he's up with the big club. The 23-year-old righty was highly impressive in his MLB debut back on May 18 against the Pirates, covering six shutout innings and scattering five hits while striking out nine batters.

Impact In his MLB debut back on May 18 versus the Pirates, Abel dazzled with nine strikeouts over six shutout frames, but he was sent back to Lehigh Valley immediately after the start while the Phillies elected to turn to veteran Taijuan Walker to replace the injured Aaron Nola (ankle) in the rotation. With Walker underwhelming in his last two starts, the Phillies have decided to move him to a one-inning leverage role out of the bullpen, reopening a spot in the rotation for Abel. Though he's poised to rejoin the Phillies, Abel won't necessarily be in store for a long-term stay in the big leagues. Nola has resumed throwing in the bullpen and could begin a rehab assignment next week before returning from the injured list by the second week of June.

Optioned after stellar debut The Phillies optioned Abel to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact The idea all along was for Abel's major-league debut Sunday against the Pirates to be a spot start, and the Phillies have stuck to the plan even after the rookie struck out nine over six scoreless innings. Taijuan Walker will now enter the rotation this week as the replacement for Aaron Nola (ankle). Abel will go back into Lehigh Valley's rotation but is sure to garner additional looks in the majors this season.

Deadspin | MLB roundup: Phillies' Mick Abel outduels Paul Skenes in debut Deadspin | MLB roundup: Phillies' Mick Abel outduels Paul Skenes in debut

MAY 19, 2025 • DEADSPIN.COM

Dazzles in debut Abel (1-0) yielded five hits over six shutout frames Sunday, striking out nine and earning a win over the Pirates.

Impact Abel was promoted for his MLB debut Sunday and put on a clinic. He fired 62 of 84 pitches for strikes and threw 16 first-pitch strikes to the 22 batters he faced. Abel generated 18 whiffs, including eight with his curveball and seven with a fastball that averaged 97.3 mph. The 23-year-old posted a 6.46 ERA through 108.2 frames with Triple-A Lehigh Valley in 2024, but hit his stride this season with a 2.53 ERA across 46.1 innings before his promotion. It's unclear what the Phillies plan to do with Abel, but his next turn in the rotation would likely be on the road against the Athletics next weekend if he gets another start.

Officially promoted to start Sunday The Phillies recalled Abel from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday.

Impact It was reported Friday that Abel would be called up to make a start against the Pirates on Sunday, and the transaction is now official. Abel has thrived in Triple-A this season with a 2.53 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 51:19 K:BB across 46.1 innings, but he may be in line for just a spot start with the big club. Though Aaron Nola (ankle) landed on the injured list Friday, Taijuan Walker is expected to re-enter the Phillies' rotation during the coming week.

Phillies put struggling Aaron Nola on 15-day IL with right ankle sprain

Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola was placed on the 15-day injured list on Friday with a sprained right ankle

MAY 16, 2025 • Associated Press

Making MLB debut Sunday The Phillies will call up Abel to start Sunday's game against the Pirates, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Impact The right-hander will be called up for a spot start Sunday with Aaron Nola (ankle) landing on the injured list. Abel won't stick around in the majors, however, since Taijuan Walker will fill Nola's spot in the rotation next week in Colorado. Abel is one of the organization's top prospects and has a 2.53 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 51:19 K:BB across 46.1 innings at Triple-A Lehigh Valley this year.

MAY 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Figuring out Triple-A Abel has a 1.96 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 47:17 K:BB in 41.1 innings over his last seven starts for Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Impact Abel's first start of the year was in line with his work at Triple-A in the past -- he gave up four runs on nine hits and two walks with four strikeouts in five innings March 30 -- but he has been dialed in since. The Phillies have a healthy and productive big-league rotation, but Abel looks like a post-hype option if they have need of a spot starter or injury fill-in before Andrew Painter is ready.
