Aaron Nola arrives at Phillies training camp
There’s a great sign at Phillies summer camp on Monday. Aaron Nola has arrived and looks like he is ready to go.
Nola was working out locally, getting ready to rejoin the Phillies. He appears to be moving well and looks healthy.

Manager Joe Girardi on Saturday did not disclose why Nola had yet to arrive at camp.
“He is not here yet,” Girardi said. “We’re trying to work our way through that.”
COVID-19 has already had a significant impact on the Phillies. Ranger Suarez, Tommy Hunter, Hector Neris and Scott Kingery are all on the COVID-19 injured list.
Center fielder Adam Haseley has been away from the team “due to a medical condition,” Girardi told reporters Saturday. “We’re trying to work through it and get him here.”
If he’s available, Nola would be the Phillies’ presumptive opening day starter for the third consecutive year, this time for a planned 60-game season. He went 12-7 with a 3.87 ERA last season and finished third in NL Cy Young voting in 2018.
