Nori (lower body) went 2-for-4 with a home run, a walk, a stolen base, two RBI and two runs Tuesday for Double-A Reading after being reinstated from the 7-day injured list.

Nori had been on the shelf since June 9 due to a lower-body injury and completed a five-game rehab assignment between Single-A Clearwater and High-A Jersey Shore before rejoining Reading. Through 53 games in the Eastern League this season, the 21-year-old outfielder is hitting .250/.313/.377 with three home runs and 13 stolen bases.

Double-A Reading placed Nori on the 7-day injured list June 9 with a lower-body injury, Josh Norris of Baseball America reports.

Nori entered the year as one of the Phillies' better upper-level position player prospects, but he struggled prior to the injury. The 21-year-old outfielder slashed .245/.306/.361 with two home runs, 12 steals and a 73 wRC+ in 52 games for the Fightin Phils.

The Phillies promoted Nori from High-A Jersey Shore to Double-A Reading on Monday.

Nori got off to a slow start to his age-20 campaign, logging a .614 OPS through his first 203 at-bats for Single-A Clearwater. Something clicked midseason, however, as the 2024 first-round pick has slashed .297/.408/.430 with three home runs, 37 steals and more walks (14.7 BB%) than strikeouts (14.1 K%) in his last 69 games -- 11 of which came for Jersey Shore after his Aug. 26 promotion from Single-A. Given that Jersey Shore's season wrapped up, the promotion can be viewed as a way to keep Nori's hot second half alive, and it's possible he'll head back to High-A at the start of 2026, given his limited experience at that level. Nori may not develop notable power, but he has a chance to be a high-OBP leadoff hitter against right-handed pitching with the speed to steal 20-plus bases.

The Phillies have selected Nori with the 27th overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft.

A lefty-hitting prep outfielder, Nori has borderline 70-grade speed and has a chance to be a plus center fielder. He is one of the best athletes in the class, but he is also one of the older high schoolers expected to be drafted, as he turns 20 in October. Nori is clearly hit-over-power, and the hope would be that he either hits enough to be a leadoff hitter or develops enough power to not slide to the bottom third of the lineup.
