Aaron Nola Reinstated from Paternity List, Strikes Out Eight on Tuesday
Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola was reinstated from the paternity list before his start on Tuesday against the San Diego Padres. The 32-year-old pitched well in his return to the mound, allowing just four hits and two earned runs while striking out eight across five innings of work. It's been a rough season overall for Nola, who owns a 3-4 record with a 5.55 ERA, 1.41 WHIP, and 64 strikeouts across 61 2/3 innings (12 starts). However, Nola has still posted a strong 17.4% K-BB rate. The underlying indicators point to poor luck for the veteran right-hander, as he's recorded a 4.20 FIP and 3.45 xFIP. Fantasy managers should proceed with caution given Nola's struggles over the past two seasons, but he could be a decent buy-low target in deeper leagues.
