Wheeler will not make a start during this weekend's series with the Mets, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Both Cristopher Sanchez and Wheeler will not start during the upcoming three-game series against the Mets, as Philadelphia will throw Aaron Nola on Thursday followed by Jesus Luzardo and Alan Rangel on Saturday and Sunday. By doing so, Sanchez and Wheeler will be lined up to start the first two games of next week's three-game series against the Dodgers. Wheeler went 10-1 with a 2.13 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 108:22 K:BB across 93 innings prior to the All-Star break.
Wheeler (10-1) earned the win Sunday over the Tigers, allowing two hits and two walks over six scoreless innings. He struck out 10.
It was another dominant performance from Wheeler, who's now logged double-digit strikeouts in three straight outings -- he's totaled 34 strikeouts over 17.1 innings in that span. The star right-hander will head into the All-Star break with a 2.13 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 108:22 K:BB across 15 starts (93 innings).
Phillies' Zack Wheeler: Dominates Cincinnati with 14 K's
Rotowire
Wheeler (9-1) earned the win Tuesday against the Reds, allowing one run on four hits while striking out 14 over seven innings.
Wheeler did not issue a walk and generated a dominant 20 swinging strikes while matching his career high with 14 punchouts. He recorded multiple strikeouts in five of his first six innings before Eugenio Suarez spoiled the shutout with a solo homer on the first pitch of the seventh. Wheeler has now won five straight decisions since suffering his lone loss of the season May 29 against the Dodgers. The right-hander has piled up 24 strikeouts over his last 11.2 innings and is scheduled to make one final start before the All-Star break against the Tigers. He owns a 2.28 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 98:20 K:BB across 87 innings this season.
Phillies' Zack Wheeler: Goes 4.2 innings vs. Pirates
Rotowire
Wheeler did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Pirates, allowing four runs on nine hits and a walk across 4.2 innings. He struck out 10.
It was an odd start for Wheeler, as he set a season high with 10 strikeouts but also gave up a season-high 10 hits while failing to make it through five innings for the first time this year. The poor showing also ended a three-start win streak. Overall, the 36-year-old Wheeler is 8-1 with a 2.36 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 84:20 K:BB across 13 starts (80 innings). He's currently lined up to face the Reds on the road in his next outing.
Wheeler (8-1) earned the win against the Mets on Friday, allowing one run on four hits and one walk with five strikeouts over seven innings.
Wheeler allowed a run in the fourth inning but was otherwise fantastic, generating 14 swinging strikes on 98 pitches and limiting the Mets to one extra-base hit. The 36-year-old has now yielded two earned runs or fewer in each of his five June outings while logging four quality starts during that stretch. For the year, he owns a 2.03 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 74:19 K:BB across 75.1 innings and lines up for a home matchup with the Pirates next week.
Wheeler (7-1) earned the win Sunday, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks over 5.2 innings against the Mets. He struck out seven.
Wheeler fell one out shy of a quality start as his control wavered in the sixth inning, but the right-hander still turned in a strong enough outing to earn his seventh win. The 36-year-old has looked great in June, posting a 1.82 ERA and 0.93 WHIP while going 3-0 across four starts spanning 24.2 innings this month. Wheeler will take a 2.11 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 69:18 K:BB through 68.1 innings (11 starts) into his next outing, tentatively scheduled for Friday in a rematch with the Mets.
