Phillies' Zack Wheeler dealing with blood clot in right arm; retired MLB team physician weighs in
Philadelphia Phillies star pitcher Zack Wheeler was placed on the injured list with a blood clot in his right arm on Saturday, sparking concerns around MLB.
Saturday night, news dropped that the Phillies were placing ace righty Zack Wheeler on the injured list due to a blood clot in his shoulder area. More on that in a second. Sunday, veteran right-hander Aaron Nola returned from a lengthy stint on the injured list.
The Philadelphia Phillies will be without star pitcher Zack Wheeler indefinitely, but the righty's health comes first.
Maybe this time the Phils will listen, even as Roger Goodell continues to turn a deaf ear to the anti-DEI, anti-"End Racism" presidency.
The Phillies managed to punish the Nationals bullpen, getting back-to-back home runs from Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper to claim a 6-2 victory at Nationals Park. And in snapping a three-game losing streak, the Phillies improved to 70-52 and now have a six-game advantage over the New York Mets in the NL East.
