Phillies place Aaron Nola on DL with back strain

The Phillies on Monday placed right-hander Aaron Nola on the 10-day DL with a lower back strain. "Aaron experienced soreness in his lower back during his start on Thursday (against the Mets)," GM Matt Klentak said in a statement. Nick Pivetta, off to a dazzling start at Triple A and the focus of this week's Future Phillies Report, seems like the logical choice to replace Nola in the rotation.
