Zack Wheeler - Page 30 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Outdueled by rookie Wheeler (7-5) took the loss against Cleveland on Saturday, allowing one run on five hits and one walk while striking out eight batters over seven innings.

Impact Though Wheeler was charged with the loss, he pitched very well in the contest, giving up just a sixth-inning run and holding the Guardians without an extra-base hit. However, Cleveland rookie hurler Tanner Bibee was a notch better, keeping the Phillies scoreless over seven frames before turning the game over to the bullpen to secure the 1-0 victory. Fantasy managers who roster Wheeler should still be pleased with his performance -- it was his first time allowing fewer than three runs over his past five starts, which coincided with the fact that he didn't allow a long ball for the first time during that span. The veteran right-hander also notched his 12th quality start of the campaign, which is tied for ninth-most in MLB.

Serves up pair of long balls Wheeler did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing three runs on five hits over seven innings in a 7-6 win over the Padres. He struck out seven.

Impact Wheeler struggled with power in Sunday's no-decision, surrendering solo homers to Ha-Seong Kim and Xander Bogaerts while also giving up three doubles. The long balls marked his fourth consecutive start allowing a home run. Prior to his last four starts, Wheeler had only given up five homers in 2023. Though Wheeler owns a 4.04 ERA through 111.1 innings, he boasts an impressive 126:22 K:BB. He's tentatively scheduled to make his next start against the Guardians at Progressive Field.

Seven strikeouts in quality start Wheeler did not factor into the decision Friday, allowing three runs on seven hits over six innings against the Marlins. He struck out seven and did not walk a batter.

Impact Wheeler allowed a home run for a third consecutive appearance but still notched his 10th quality start of the year. The right-hander currently holds a 4.05 ERA, which would be his worst mark since 2017 when he made just 17 starts for the Mets, but his 119:22 K:BB over 104.1 innings remains elite. Wheeler doesn't face any competition for his spot in the rotation and figures to continue putting up top-tier strikeout numbers, but his next start won't come until after the All-Star break.

Rides offense to seventh win Wheeler (7-4) picked up the win Saturday in a 19-4 rout of the Nationals, giving up four runs on seven hits over five innings. He struck out six without walking a batter.

Impact The right-hander was far from sharp, tossing 55 of 85 pitches for strikes before exiting, but he got more than enough run support to allow him to win his fourth straight decision. Since his last loss May 22, Wheeler's posted a 3.92 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 48:8 K:BB through 41.1 innings, and he'll get one more turn through the rotation before the All-Star break, a start that lines up for next weekend in Miami.

Mixed results in no-decision Wheeler did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing five runs on nine hits and two walks over 5.1 innings in a 7-6 victory over the Mets. He struck out eight.

Impact After allowing just one run over his past three starts (19.1 innings), Wheeler fell flat Sunday and served up five runs to his former team, his second-highest mark of the season. On a positive note, the right-hander somewhat salvaged his fantasy production by notching at least eight strikeouts for the fifth time this year. Overall, Wheeler holds a solid 3.76 ERA and 1.17 WHIP with a stellar 106:22 K:BB through 16 appearances (93.1 innings). His next start is lined up for a home matchup against the Nationals.

The veteran right-hander is at a 3.48 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 98:20 K:BB through 88 innings across 15 starts this season. Wheeler is lined up to make his next start at home versus his old team, the Mets.

Throws 7.1 hitless innings Wheeler did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing a run on one hit and a walk over 7.1 innings against the Tigers. He struck out eight.

Impact Wheeler nearly added his name to the history books Thursday, no-hitting the Tigers before Tyler Nevin singled with one out in the seventh inning. Detroit would later tie the game 1-1 in the frame, leaving Wheeler with a no-decision. It was quite a bounce-back from the 33-year-old right-hander, who allowed seven runs in just 3.2 innings in his last outing against the Nationals. Wheeler's been dominant at times this season, though he's lacked consistency. His ERA is now at 3.91 with a 1.12 WHIP and 87:17 K:BB through 13 starts (76 innings) this season.

Start postponed due to air quality Wheeler's start against the Tigers on Wednesday has been postponed due to air quality, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Detroit-Philadelphia is one of two games being postponed due to the poor air quality on the east coast, with the Yankees-White Sox also being postponed Wednesday. The Phillies and Tigers contest was rescheduled for Thursday at 6:05 p.m. ET, and Wheeler will likely be on the bump for that game against Reese Olson and Detroit.

Falls flat versus Washington Wheeler did not factor into the decision Friday, allowing seven runs on eight hits and one walk over 3.2 innings during an 8-7 loss to Washington. He struck out three.

Impact Wheeler struck out 12 over eight scoreless innings last time out, but he fell flat versus Washington, allowing a season-high seven earned runs and tying his season low with three strikeouts. The right-hander currently holds a 4.33 ERA, which would be his highest mark since 2017 with the Mets, but his 79:16 K:BB and 1.21 WHIP over 68.2 innings suggest Wheeler has been the recipient of some bad luck. The veteran will look to bounce back next time out, which is tentatively scheduled for a favorable matchup versus Detroit.

Fans season-high 12 in win Wheeler (4-4) picked up the win in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Atlanta, scattering three hits and a walk over eight scoreless innings. He struck out 12.

Impact It was the most dominant performance of 2023 for the veteran right-hander; the innings and strikeouts were both season highs, and Wheeler generated 22 swinging strikes among his 106 pitches. It was his sixth quality start of the year, including three in his last four outings -- a stretch in which he's posted a 2.67 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 30:4 K:BB through 27 innings. Wheeler will look to stay locked in for his next start, which is likely to come on the road next weekend against the Nationals.
