Nola was placed on the 15-day DL on Wednesday with a right elbow strain.
While the Phillies have maintained throughout Nola's struggles that he was healthy, this helps explain why the velocity on his sinker was down to 88.3 mph in his last start -- down from 91 mph at the start of the season. He got off to an excellent start to the season (3.55 ERA in April, 2.31 ERA in May), but he has been brutal ever since. The nature of the injury certainly suggests that Nola could be sidelined for quite some time, so in mixed leagues without DL spots, owners can probably cut bait at this point. Phil Klein was called up from Triple-A as a corresponding move and will slot into the Phillies' rotation on Wednesday against the Giants.
