With Carlos Ruiz continuing his rehab, the Phillies' top pick of this year's draft, Aaron Nola, got a chance to pitch to the veteran catcher on Saturday for High A Clearwater in the Threshers' 4-2 loss to the Bradenton Marauders.
Ruiz, recovering from a concussion, caught seven innings and went 1 for 4 with a single and a strikeout. Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg indicated to reporters in Atlanta on Friday that Ruiz could return late next week.
