Manager Pete Mackanin said Tuesday that Nola may miss another start because of his lower-back strain, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Nola showed improvement after his bullpen session Monday, but the Phillies want to be cautious with their young starter. Mackanin said he would talk with GM Matt Klentak on Wednesday to make a decision regarding Nola's status for his scheduled start Friday. Nick Pivetta would get another start if Nola can't go this week.
