Phillies Injury Updates

• Alec Bohm (fractured left rib)
• Status: 10-day injured list
• Alec Bohm exited the game early against San Diego on July 12 after getting hit by a pitch in the left rib cage in his first at-bat. He was out of the starting lineup the next day, but returned for the first game of the second half on July 18. 
• Bohm was placed on the IL prior to Saturday’s game with a fractured left rib. Weston Wilson was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to take his place on the 26-man roster.  
• Imaging done on Saturday, July 19 revealed a cracked left rib for Bohm, manager Rob Thomson said. Thomson estimated that Bohm could miss three to four weeks, possibly less. “I hate putting timelines on anything. It’s just tolerance,” Thomson said.
• Thomson told reporters Sunday morning on July 13 in San Diego that Bohm did not get an X-ray. Thomson clarified and said that Bohm underwent an X-ray later that day. Bohm underwent treatment during the All-Star break, but felt discomfort in his last at-bat on Friday, July 18. – Last updated on July 19 by Destiny Lugardo

• Aaron Nola (stress fracture in right rib)
• Status: 60-day injured list 
• Aaron Nola’s puzzling stint on the injured list continues. After originally being sidelined with a sprained right ankle in May, Nola now has a stress fracture on the right side of his ribcage, the pitcher clarified. Phillies manager Rob Thomson initially announced the injury as a stress reaction.
• Nola threw 34 pitches across two innings in a live batting practice session on Saturday, July 19. He will throw another bullpen session on either July 21 or 22. There is a chance he could begin a rehab assignment shortly after that. — Last updated on July 19 by Destiny Lugardo
