Zack Wheeler, a prominent pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies, is set to make a rehab start with the Reading Fightin Phils on Tuesday against the Somerset Patriots. The 35-year-old has been recovering from surgery for a right upper extremity blood clot, which led to his placement on the injured list in August 2022. Wheeler has made three rehab appearances this season with a 5.23 ERA, going 0-1 and recording 10 strikeouts across 10.1 innings. In his most recent outing on April 8 against Rochester, he struck out six batters while allowing just one run. A three-time All-Star, Wheeler has been a standout pitcher for the Phillies since joining the team in 2020, finishing second in National League Cy Young voting in both 2021 and 2024. He boasts an impressive postseason performance with a 2.18 ERA over 12 appearances. The Fightin Phils will kick off a six-game series against the Somerset Patriots, the Double-A affiliate of the New York Yankees, at 6:35 p.m. on Tuesday.
