Phillies plan to use 6-man rotation with Aaron Nola's return from IL, says manager Rob Thomson
Aaron Nola is scheduled to be activated from the injured list and start for the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday against the Washington Nationals. With Nola's return, manager Rob Thomson told reporters on Thursday that the Phillies will go with a six-man rotation for at least one turn. Jesús Luzardo started the series opener on Thursday with Zack Wheeler scheduled for Friday and Taijuan Walker — who Thomson said was the No. 6 starter — going on Saturday. After Nola starts on Sunday, the rest of the rotation will line up with Ranger Suárez starting against the Seattle Mariners on Monday, followed by Cristopher Sánchez on Tuesday. Thomson's decision might look smarter after Luzardo gave up three runs on four hits and three walks in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Nationals. Suárez has also struggled recently, allowing five or more runs in three of his past five starts. In Thomson's view, the starters' workload is wearing them down. "Just getting some of these guys some extra rest because we've been grinding on them pretty hard all year," Thomson said, via the Associated Press. "The one downside to it is you've got to take somebody out of your bullpen, so you're a little short there but we'll just have to figure it out." Philadelphia leads MLB with 687 1/3 innings from its starting pitchers. Sánchez tops Phillies starters with 150 2/3 innings, while Wheeler has logged 144 2/3 frames. After Thursday's start, Luzardo is at 139 innings, followed by Suárez with 112 1/3. Nola returning to the rotation should help relieve some of those innings. However, he may take a while before he can build up a higher workload. Nola hasn't pitched for the Phillies since May 14 after suffering a sprained right ankle that he initially tried to pitch through before going on the IL. That may be why he compiled a 6.16 ERA and 1-7 record before being sidelined. In his three rehab starts, Nola collected a 2.19 ERA in 12 1/3 innings with 17 strikeouts — including 11 in his final appearance. At 69-52, the Phillies go into the weekend with a five-game lead over the New York Mets (64-57) for first place in the NL East. The Mets lost to the Atlanta Braves on Thursday, 4-3.

Jets Unveil New Sweater Numbers for 2025-26
The Winnipeg Jets have unveiled new sweater numbers for 10 players for the 2025-26 season. Despite signing just four prominent players who will likely suit up for the team at some point during the coming season, other lesser-known signees have selected their numbers, while a handful of returnees have also adjusted their numbers. The most notable being David Gustafsson, who kindly gave heed to Jonathan Toews, who will wear his regular No. 19 next season. With that, Gustafsson, a seven-year veteran will switch his number to 41 next season. Joining Toews will be Gustav Nyquist, Tanner Pearson and Cole Koepke, who will each continue wearing their familiar numbers next year. Ville Heinola will change back to No. 34, while Parker Ford will wearing the No. 25 that he has sported with the Manitoba Moose the last couple seasons. Full list of Winnipeg Jets new jersey numbers: 19 -Jonathan Toews 14 - Gustav Nyquist 70 -Tanner Pearson 41 - David Gustafsson 45 - Cole Koepke 25 - Parker Ford 34 - Ville Heinola 71 - Walker Duehr 89 - Philip DiGiuseppe 16 - Samuel Fagemo 56 - Kale Clague 30 - Isaac Poulter
