Philadelphia pitcher Aaron Nola is set to make his first injury rehab start Thursday for Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

In his pregame availability with the media on July 2, Phillies manager Rob Thomson said the hope is to get Nola on the mound for a full bullpen session by the end of the weekend. Thomson also said that once Nola begins to ramp up his throwing program, the Phillies will treat it like a second spring training.
