Phillies Activate Aaron Nola From Injured List originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola has been out for over three months as he's dealt with the first significant injury in his career.

At 11:15 a.m. ET Sunday, Aaron Nola stepped out of the dugout and into the sunlight. And as he walked to the bullpen, a section of early-bird Phillies fans cheered. They hadn’t seen him in a while. But there wasn’t much time to get reacquainted.

Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Aaron Nola's first start after returning from the injured list didn't last long. The right-hander allowed six runs in 2 1/3 innings Sunday against the Washington Nationals, a start that ended when seven consecutive batters reached safely.
