Zack Wheeler - Page 25 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Reaches 42 pitches in side session Wheeler (shoulder) completed a 42-pitch bullpen session Wednesday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Impact Wheeler is healthy again after a bout with shoulder soreness earlier in the offseason, but because the injury delayed him in his throwing progression, he's well behind the Phillies' other starting pitchers in spring training. After the extended bullpen session, Wheeler will advance to facing hitters in live batting practice, perhaps as soon as this weekend. If all goes well, Wheeler could make a Grapefruit League start next week, but he still doesn't look as though he'll be stretched out enough to start the Phillies' April 8 season opener versus the Athletics. Provided his shoulder provides no complications in his buildup program, Wheeler likely won't miss more than one turn through the rotation to begin the season.

Throws another bullpen session Wheeler (shoulder/illness) threw 35 pitches in a bullpen session Sunday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Wheeler skipped his scheduled bullpen session Thursday due to a bout with the flu, but his return to the mound Sunday indicates he's past the ailment. The 31-year-old is scheduled to throw another bullpen session this week before advancing to live batting practice and then potentially progressing to game action. Wheeler was previously ruled out for Opening Day but should be available for the first turn through the rotation if he remains on the his current schedule.

Battling flu Wheeler (shoulder) skipped his scheduled Thursday bullpen session due to the flu, Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Wheeler has already been ruled out for an Opening Day start, as his throwing program was delayed over the winter by shoulder soreness. There haven't yet been reports that he's dealing with any significant shoulder issue, so he wasn't expected to miss much more than one start, but another slight delay from the flu could push him back slightly further. A brief trip to the injured list could be in play if his buildup process keeps getting delayed.

Completes bullpen session Wheeler (shoulder) threw a successful bullpen session Monday and is scheduled for another session Thursday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact It represents Wheeler's first time throwing off a mound since the shoulder soreness surfaced in December, and he's a bit behind schedule to open spring training. The 31-year-old has already been ruled out as a possibility to start Opening Day, though there's still a chance he'll be ready sometime during the first week of the season, per Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia. The shoulder soreness doesn't appear to be an ongoing issue, but the late start to throwing will affect Wheeler's outlook for the beginning of the regular season.

Working back from sore shoulder Wheeler is "feeling good" after being delayed by shoulder soreness when he started his throwing program in December, Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. "I knew we ha...

Impact He has already been ruled out as the Phillies' Opening Day starter. Wheeler said the soreness dissipated quickly, but after logging an MLB-high 213.1 innings in 2021, he elected to rest for longer than usual before beginning his offseason throwing program. He has yet to throw off a bullpen mound and could do so as early as Monday. Per Salisbury, it's not out of the question that Wheeler could be ready to start sometime during the first week of games, just not the opener. The Phillies first require a fifth starter April 12, but Ranger Suarez (visa issues) is also behind schedule and Zach Eflin (knee) is questionable for his first turn through the rotation. Aaron Nola should be the Opening Day starter with Kyle Gibson following him and the likes of Hans Crouse and Bailey Falter in the mix for early-season work until the rotation is at full strength.

Impact Wheeler wasn't delayed in his offseason throwing program due to any injury; instead, he simply opted to take more extended time off to rest coming off a 2021 campaign in which he covered a career-high 213.1 innings. The Phillies will likely let their ace ramp up at his own pace during the next three weeks of spring training, but his lack of mound work to date could put him out of contention for the Opening Day nod. Assuming he endures no setbacks while building up, however, Wheeler should still be in good shape to avoid the injured list and make a turn by the time the Phillies first require a fifth starter April 15.
