The Philadelphia Phillies have placed right-hander Aaron Nola on the 60-day injured list due to a ribcage injury, compounding his earlier ankle issues. Nola has struggled with performance this season, recording a 1-7 record and a 6.16 ERA over nine starts. The injury occurred during a pregame workout, and an MRI revealed a stress reaction in his ribcage, sidelining him further. This move comes as the Phillies also called up infielder Buddy Kennedy, who has been impressive in Triple-A, batting .283 with eight home runs this season.

In a corresponding roster move, infielder Weston Wilson was optioned to Triple-A after a lackluster performance in the majors, where he hit just .194 with one home run in 22 games. Kennedy, noted for his solid performance in the minor leagues, offers the Phillies some hope as they navigate Nola's absence and seek to regain momentum in a competitive NL East.
