Phillies' Aaron Nola (back) set to undergo MRI

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola (back) is scheduled for an MRI on Wednesday.

What It Means:

Nola was only expected to miss one or two starts when he was placed on the disabled list a little under two weeks ago with a strain in his lower back, but things haven't gone as planned. Wednesday's MRI should provide a more accurate timetable.

The 23-year-old right-hander has a 4.50 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 21.7 strikeout percentage across 16 innings this season. He's 2-0 in three starts.
