Phillies RHP Aaron Nola sidelined 2 more weeks with rib injury
Rather than leaning on favorites like Paul Skenes and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Jay Croucher and Drew Dinsick share why bettors should consider targeting upside picks such as MacKenzie Gore. PHILADELPHIA — Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola suffered another setback in his return to pitch when an MRI showed he has an injury in his right ribcage and will be shut down for two weeks. Nola had already been out since early May with a sprained right ankle that was progressing more slowly than expected. He experienced stiffness in his right side last week in Toronto and that wiped out a planned session against live batters. Nola underwent testing this week and had what the Phillies called a stress reaction in his right ribcage. Phillies manager Rob Thomson said ahead of Tuesday's game against the Chicago Cubs that Nola was unsure how the injury may have happened. Nola is 1-7 with a 6.16 ERA in nine starts. Nola, who signed a $172 million, seven-year contract ahead of the 2024 season, injured his ankle on May 8 during pregame agility drills when the Phillies played the Rays at Steinbrenner Field. Nola is 105-86 with a 3.78 ERA in 11 seasons with the Phillies. Thomson said slugger Bryce Harper was starting to feel better as he recovers from right wrist inflammation that last Friday landed him on the 10-day injured list. The two-time National League MVP and eight-time All-Star is hitting .258 with nine home runs, 34 RBIs and eight stolen bases in 57 games. He missed five games, from May 26 to June 2, with a bruised right elbow after being hit by a pitch from Atlanta's Spencer Strider.

Dodgers' Dave Roberts Announces Shohei Ohtani News Before Padres Game
Dodgers' Dave Roberts Announces Shohei Ohtani News Before Padres Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Los Angeles Dodgers have been hammered by injuries to their pitching staff. Among others, starting pitchers Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow and Roki Sasaki are on the injured list. Advertisement Last week, Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes told Jon Heyman of the New York Post that the team is not currently planning to deal for a pitcher ahead of the MLB trade deadline. One of the biggest reasons for taking this approach is the looming return to pitching for two-way star Shohei Ohtani. Undergoing right elbow surgery in 2023, Ohtani has not pitched in a game since he was a member of the Los Angeles Angels. Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (17).Kirby Lee-Imagn Images For his MLB career, Ohtani has posted a 3.01 ERA with 608 strikeouts in 481.2 innings as a pitcher. If he can come anywhere close to this production, Los Angeles will have itself another frontline starter who would supplant the need for a trade deadline move. Advertisement On Tuesday, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts announced some more encouraging news, revealing there is a non-zero chance Ohtani pitches before the All-Star break. "Dave Roberts said the chances are 'north of zero' that Shohei Ohtani could be back sooner than the post-All-Star break timeline originally anticipate," Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic wrote on X. "Both Roberts and Mark Prior noted how good Ohtani looked over his three simulated innings today." This comes after Gomes told Heyman of Ohtani, "There's no reason to think he's not coming back." Now, it seems that return could be even closer than initially anticipated. This would be a huge boost for Los Angeles as it attempts to navigate significant injury misfortune, most notably to the pitching staff.

Missouri House Committee passes Chiefs, Royals stadium plan
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — The stadium package for the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals cleared another hurdle at the Missouri State Capitol Tuesday. The House Committee on Economic Development endorsed the package following more than three hours of discussion. Potential Royals move to Kansas sparks mixed reaction in Overland Park What was talked about had to do with Senate Bill 3. It's the same package that body approved early Thursday morning. It funds any stadium plans for the Chiefs and Royals with tax revenues that the stadiums generate. Republican State House Rep. Sherri Gallick from Cass County, heads the Economic Development Committee. On more than one occasion during the committee meeting, she expressed her support for the bill. She discussed how much the Chiefs and Royals do for charities on the west side of the state. 'Those things may not exist, or they may exist on the Kansas side,' Gallic said of 15 and the Mahomies. 'I would like them to continue to exist on the Missouri side.' Gallick was alluding to the fact that the Kansas Legislature passed a Sales Tax and Revenue (STAR) Bond package one year ago, aimed at trying to lure either the Chiefs and or the Royals to the west side of the state line. The Show-Me Institute's Senior Fellow Patrick Tuohey is against the bill and was the only one who testified against the State Senate Committee on Fiscal Oversight passing it. Tuohey came back to the capital city Tuesday. 'The package of STAR Bonds offered by Kansas is not at all competitive, and there's plenty of reporting on this,' Tuohey said to the Economic Development Committee. 'Kansas refuses to put public taxpayer money to back up the bonds if they don't generate enough tax revenue, and that means that investors are not going to be invested in buying this.' One person who came to the capitol to support the stadium package was Kansas City Sports Commission and Visit KC President and CEO Kathy Nelson. Nelson did not testify in Topeka in June of 2024 when Kansas lawmakers passed the STAR Bond package. 'In 2024, sports driven media coverage equated to more than 300 million total impressions, highlighting Kansas City as a travel destination,' Nelson said to the committee. 'Due to our sports teams, last year Kansas City, Missouri was highlighted as a top global travel destination by publications such as the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Travel and Leisure, Lonely Planet and TIME Magazine. Nothing else puts us on a global map like these teams.' After the hearing, Nelson was asked whether she thinks the teams will stay in the region now that Kansas and potentially the Missouri legislature, will have tried to keep the teams through pieces of legislation. New Heartland Coca-Cola facility opens in Olathe 'I hope so,' Nelson said in response. 'I know both owners personally. I believe their hearts are here in the Kansas City region, and I think they want the opportunity to stay here. They don't want an opportunity to leave.' The full Missouri House of Representatives will likely take up the stadium package Wednesday. The session starts at 10 a.m. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
