First-place Phillies to use 6 SPs with Nola return

The Philadelphia Phillies, currently in first place, have announced that they will be using a six-man starting rotation starting this weekend. This decision comes as Aaron Nola, their ace, is set to return from the injured list. The move is aimed at managing the workload of the pitching staff and ensuring that all starters get sufficient rest between outings. With Nola back, the Phillies will now have a deep and talented rotation, including Zack Wheeler, Ranger Suárez, Bailey Falter, and Kyle Gibson. The decision to go with a six-man rotation is a strategic one, as it allows the team to keep their top pitchers fresh and potentially reduce the risk of injuries. This approach may also help the Phillies maintain their position at the top of the standings as they push for a playoff spot.
