Aaron Nola's "Flu" Turned Out to be a Stomach Bug

Anybody else panic when Aaron Nola was scratched from his spring training start on Wednesday due to illness?

The baseball beats are down in Florida with the team right now, and Scott Lauber at the Inquirer has an update:

Aaron Nola threw bullpen session today. Stomach bug (not flu; Nola said he never ran a fever)will essentially cause him to make one fewer spring start than planned, but he doubts it’ll impact his readiness for opening day … assuming, you know, that opening day is still a thing.

Nothing official from MLB yet on the start of their season. The Phillies open two weeks from today, March 26th, in Miami. Every team will play on that same day, so Major League Baseball really only has 14 days of wiggle room here. Maybe they shouldn’t even be playing these spring training games. You’ll probably see an official statement today or tomorrow.
