Austin Nola Activated From Injured List Thursday
4 years agoThe San Diego Padres activated catcher Austin Nola (knee) from the injured list on Thursday and optioned catcher Webster Rivas to Triple-A El Paso in a corresponding move. Nola has been on the shelf since late May with a sprained knee. He also missed time earlier this year with a fractured hand, so the 31-year-old only has 46 at-bats to this point in 2021. Nola was only hitting .217 before his knee injury, but he did have a .373 on-base percentage and has enough pop in his lumber to be worth considering in two-catcher leagues. Expect him to split time behind the plate in San Diego with Victor Caratini.
