Zack Wheeler Pushed Back to Sunday With Shoulder Stiffness
Zack Wheeler (shoulder) back two days to Sunday against the Texas Rangers after he complained of shoulder stiffness, according to Matt Gelb of The Athletic. Manager Rob Thompson said an MRI exam on Wheeler's right shoulder came back clean, and he was able to play catch on Wednesday before the series finale against the Baltimore Orioles. Wheeler has an ERA under 3.00 on the year, but he's allowed at least three earned runs or more in three of his last four outings. The Phillies aren't too concerned about the 35-year-old right now, and fantasy managers shouldn't be, either. Wheeler will be a bit more risky in fantasy this weekend, but he should still be deployed in all starting lineups against a Rangers offense that ranks 27th in baseball with a .678 OPS.
