Philadelphia Phillies manager Gabe Kapler has named Aaron Nola the team's Opening Day starter against the Atlanta Braves in Philadelphia.
Nola received a four-year, $45 million contract last month. The contract includes a 2023 club option that could make the deal worth $56.75 million over five years.
The 25-year-old right-hander is 41-28 in four seasons, including 17-6 last year with a 2.37 ERA and 0.975 WHIP. He finished third in the National League Cy Young Award voting behind Jacob deGrom and Max Scherzer.
