Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola pitched in seven innings, giving up three runs on four hits and three walks while striking out three batters Friday. Nola's efforts helped his team secure a 4-3 win over the Colorado Rockies. He struggled early in the game, giving up three runs in the first inning. However, the Phillies' top pitcher showed impressive resilience and held the Rockies scoreless for the rest of the game. A solid outing will be a confidence booster for Nola after a rough start to the season.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola got lit up in his Opening Day start against the Texas Rangers, allowing five runs over just 3 2/3 innings. Nola was actually cruising for the first three innings, allowing just one baserunner. But things came unraveled in the fourth, when he allowed four hits and a walk, including a three-run homer to Robbie Grossman, before being pulled. The fantasy ace has been known to have these occasional blow-ups, but they are usually few and far between. Expect Nola to bounce back from this performance and put up his usual ace-like numbers this season.

The Philadelphia Phillies named right-hander Aaron Nola as their Opening Day starter for next Thursday against the Texas Rangers. It will be Nola's sixth straight Opening Day nod. It speaks to how good the 29-year-old has been as the team's ace. He'll be facing off against ex-division-rival ace Jacob deGrom as well. Nola finished fourth in the National League Cy Young voting in 2022 after going 11-13 in the regular season with a 3.25 ERA (2.58 FIP), 0.96 WHIP and 29.1 percent strikeout rate in 32 starts covering 205 innings. He's a fantasy ace for those drafting this weekend, and RotoBaller has him ranked No. 7 among starting pitchers.

The Philadelphia Phillies and starting pitcher Aaron Nola have begun discussions on a long-term contract extension, according to multiple major-league sources. He's currently scheduled to become a free agent after the 2023 season. There appears to be momentum to reach an agreement sometime this spring, and Nola has expressed his interest in remaining in Philadelphia. Nola doesn't want to drag extensions into the regular season, so if the Phils don't want him hitting the open market this winter, they'll need to get something done soon. The 29-year-old right-hander is making $16 million in 2023, but his robust track record will allow him to get paid on his next deal. He has made more starts and pitched more innings than anyone in baseball since the start of 2018, and he finished fourth in the NL Cy Young voting last season. Nola is a top-five fantasy ace, regardless of whether he signs an extension this spring.

According to a tweet from The New York Post's Jon Heyman, the Philadelphia Phillies are reportedly picking up Aaron Nola's $18 million option. Heyman tweeted on Monday: "Phillies pick up Aaron Nola $18M option." The 29-year-old made 32 starts for the National League East franchise in the regular season, logging a 3.25 ERA and a 2.58 FIP in 205 innings of work. He also registered 235 strikeouts and 29 walks allowed in those 205 innings. Once the postseason started, the veteran pitched to a 4.91 ERA and a 3.74 FIP in five starts spanning 25.2 innings of work.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola never seemed to get comfortable in Wednesday night's World Series Game 4 start against the Houston Astros, and he left in the fourth inning with the bases loaded. Unfortunately for him, relief pitcher Jose Alvarado allowed all three of those runners to score, and Nola finished with three runs allowed on seven hits and no walks in four innings of work. He struck out four batters and took his second loss of the postseason. He now has a 4.91 ERA and 1.32 WHIP with 27 strikeouts in 25 2/3 innings in the playoffs.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola will get a chance to redeem himself with a 2-1 series lead in Wednesday's World Series Game 4 against Cristian Javier and the Houston Astros. Nola has not had a great postseason to the tune of a 4.57 ERA through four starts, including a five-run, 4 1/3-inning dud in last Friday's Game 1. He is still one of the Phillies' two aces and pitched like it in the regular season, going 11-13 with a 3.25 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, and 29.1% strikeout rate over 32 starts. He will look to give his team a 3-1 series lead at home.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola didn't have his best stuff in Game 1 of the World Series on Friday, giving up five runs on six hits and two homers while striking out five and walking two across just 4 1/3 innings in the 6-5 victory. He's now had back-to-back poor outings and owns a 2-1 record with a 4.57 ERA across four postseason starts. Nola had one of his best seasons in 2022, posting 11 wins, a 3.25 ERA, 2.58 FIP, 29.1% strikeout rate and 0.96 WHIP. The 29-year-old will likely get another start if the series makes it to Game 5, and he should improve his postseason numbers.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola will reportedly take the mound for the first game of the World Series against the Houston Astros on Friday, per a tweet from The Athletic's Matt Gelb on Wednesday. Right-hander Zack Wheeler will get the nod in Game 2 on Saturday. Nola pitched to a 3.25 ERA and a 2.77 FIP in 205 regular season innings, logging 235 strikeouts compared to just 29 walks in the process. He's continued to find success in the postseason, posting a 3.12 ERA and a 2.58 FIP in 17 1/3 playoff innings. He's also struck out 18 batters compared to three walks.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola won his second game in two playoff starts when his club beat the Atlanta Braves 9-1 on Friday to take a 2-1 Division Series lead. The 27-year-old completed six innings, allowing one unearned run on five hits and two walks while striking out six. Nola's been dominant thus far in the postseason, not giving up an earned run over 12.2 innings. It follows a great regular season in which the right-hander posted an 11-13 record, 3.25 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, and 29.1 K%. His next start won't come until the next round if the Phillies advance.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola turned in a gem in Monday's 3-0 win over the Astros, helping secure a playoff spot for his team. Nola pitched 6 2/3 innings, allowing just two hits and no walks with nine strikeouts. The 29-year-old delivered as a high-end fantasy starter once again this season, going 11-13 with a 3.25 ERA, 10.32 K/9 rate, and 1.27 BB/9 rate over 32 starts and 205 innings pitched. Baseball fans will likely get to see a bit more from him during the playoffs and will have him in the higher end of their rankings for the 2023 season.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola couldn't get it done against the Chicago Cubs Wednesday, as he gave up four runs on five hits in six innings. He struck out eight and did not walk a batter. His record for the year fell to 10-13 in the 4-2 loss. With a 3.36 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, and 226 strikeouts in 198 1/3 innings, Nola deserves better than his record. He should get one more start in 2022, and fantasy managers and Phillies fans are counting on better results with the season on the line.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola reached the 200-strikeout mark on Tuesday in a no-decision against the Miami Marlins on Tuesday. In 6 2/3 innings of work, Nola allowed one earned run on four hits while striking out 10 and walking only two. The outing was the 29-year-old's 16th quality start of the season, and it was his fifth time reaching double-digit strikeouts in 2022. He's now reached 200 strikeouts for the fourth straight season. Overall, Nola is 9-11 with a 3.35 ERA (2.64 FIP), a 0.97 WHIP, 200 K's and 24 walks in 177 1/3 innings pitched over 27 starts this year. Tuesday's outing was a nice rebound after he surrendered eight earned runs in just four innings his last time out against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola was excellent on Thursday, tossing a complete-game shutout to help his club defeat the Reds 4-0. The right-hander struck out a season-high 11 batters while allowing just five hits and no walks in the 101-pitch effort. Nola cruised through the majority of the game and only ran into trouble in the ninth inning, when he stranded runners on second and third to end the contest. He now holds a sharp 3.08 ERA and 0.94 WHIP on the season to go along with a 185/22 K/BB through 166 2/3 innings pitched. Nola will look to keep his momentum going next week in a favorable road matchup versus the Diamondbacks.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola was outstanding Sunday, coming within two outs of a complete-game shutout against the Miami Marlins. Nola allowed no runs on four hits and a walk, striking out ten while improving his season record to 6-7. He has now thrown at least seven innings in eight consecutive starts. With a 3.13 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, and 137 strikeouts in 126 2/3 innings across 19 starts this year, Nola is among the most consistent and valuable fantasy starters in the league.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola had it working on the mound in Thursday's 4-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves. He picked up the win after 8.1 innings of work in which he allowed one run, picked up 10 strikeouts, and walked no one. After the start, the one-time All-Star owns a 3.56 ERA with a 2-4 record, 74 strikeouts, and a 0.94 WHIP across 10 games. It's looking like a rebound season after a disappointing 2021, where he posted a 4.63 ERA. Fantasy managers that predicted a bounce back should be happy with the results thus far.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola has started eight games this season, pitching to a 3.64 ERA and 0.98 WHIP in 47 innings, and yet he has gone winless since Opening Day, garnering a disappointing 1-4 record for the season. Still, fantasy managers have to be encouraged by the early returns for the righty, as Nola has four quality starts in his last five outings with 39 strikeouts in those 32 1/3 innings. He's bound to be victimized by some extremely poor Phillies defense, but nevertheless the wins should begin rolling in for this fantasy ace.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola put together a wonderful performance against the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday. He allowed one hit through seven shutout innings and struck out nine batters. Nola only allowed one walk as well in what ended up being a no-decision for the young right-hander. The Phillies offense couldn't score a single run for him as they drop this game 1-0 to Milwaukee. Nola will look to add onto this performance against the New York Mets on Friday.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola fell to 1-2 in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Rockies. Nola pitched well overall, allowing two runs on six hits (including a solo home run) and a walk with four strikeouts over 5 1/3 innings pitched. However, the Phillies could only muster a single run in support of him. Nola has not turned in the most inspiring start to the season, posting a 5.52 ERA with 16 strikeouts and four walks over 14 2/3 IP. That being said, the season is much too early for fantasy managers to start worrying about one of their earlier pitchers drafted. Nola will look to turn in a strong start next against the Brewers at home.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola went six-plus innings, allowing four earned runs on four hits while striking out seven in the Phillies' 9-5 win over the Oakland Athletics on Friday. Nola would have had a quality start, and his line would have looked a lot better, but for the fact that he allowed three earned runs in the top of the seventh inning without recording an out. Nola is coming off a subpar season by his standards, having posted a 4.63 ERA in 180 2/3 innings over 32 starts in 2021. But Nola had a 3.37 xERA, 3.37 xFIP, and 3.26 SIERA, to go with a 29.8% strikeout rate which indicates he had some poor luck in 2021. Nola is a solid SP1 option for managers in all formats. He lines up to face the New York Mets at home on Wednesday in his next start.
