LOS ANGELES — Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola was placed on the paternity list Friday, ahead of the team’s three-game set against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Nola (3-4, 5.72 ERA) wasn’t scheduled to pitch this weekend. The 32-year-old right-hander will have an extra day after the Dodgers series because the Phillies don’t play until Tuesday, when they host the San Diego Padres, a team they just swept on the road.
The team recalled right-hander Nolan Hoffman from Triple-A Lehigh Valley, along with outfielder Steward Berroa. Utility man Otto Kemp was optioned to Lehigh Valley.
