Aaron Nola is slated to take the mound for the IronPigs on Wednesday, as the Phillies starting pitcher continues his rehab assignment.

Phillies' Aaron Nola allows six-run inning vs. Nats as rotations concerns grow after Zack Wheeler blood clot

Sure, the Phillies rallied for an 11-9 victory, scoring five runs against the last-place Nationals’ putrid bullpen and surviving a three-run rally in the ninth that brought the tying run to the plate and forced manager Rob Thomson to use closer Jhoan Duran.

The Mets took two of three from the red-hot Mariners over the weekend, including a 7-3 win on Sunday night during the Little League Classic in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. It was the first series the Mets had won since sweeping the San Francisco Giants from July 25-27.

"Nola allowed one run in 3 2/3 innings in a 12-1, seven-inning victory, the 287th for manager Anthony Contreras," Ty Daubert wrote for Phillies Nation. "Contreras, who's led the IronPigs since 2022, now holds the franchise record for managerial wins."

The most obvious effect is that there will be an extra day’s rest for the entirety of the rotation for at least one time through, maybe two depending on the on field results. Considering that there is at least one, maybe two, starters that looks like he can use that day off, it could be a good thing.
