Zack Wheeler will miss the rest of the season due to a surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome.

Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Zack Wheeler will miss the rest of the season after being diagnosed with venous thoracic outlet syndrome, requiring decompression surgery with a recovery timeline of six to eight months. The team will now rely on pitchers Cristopher Sanchez, Jesus Luzardo, Ranger Suarez, Aaron Nola, and Taijuan Walker to fill the gap in the starting rotation. Wheeler, 35, had a standout season with a 2.71 ERA and 195 strikeouts before his injury.
