The Philadelphia Phillies will welcome their longest-tenured player back this weekend. Right-hander Aaron Nola, who has been out with an ankle issue since May 14, will start Sunday, manager Rob Thomson announced Thursday (per The Athletic).

Rob Thomson addressed how Aaron Nola will fit into the Phillies rotation after he returns from a long injury absence.

Aaron Nola has posted a 6.16 ERA in nine starts for the Phillies this year. He has been on the injured list for three months.
