Zack Wheeler will miss at least a few of his next scheduled starts after the Philadelphia Phillies placed their ace on the 15-day injured list Saturday after learning of a blood clot diagnosis.

Dave Dombrowski, the Phillies’ president of baseball operations, said the blood clot is located near Wheeler’s shoulder.

No timetable was set for the three-time MLB All-Star’s return.

Wheeler has started 24 games this season and has a 2.71 ERA. He was the National League strikeout leader in 2021. Entering Saturday’s action, Wheeler’s 195 strikeouts were the most in the majors.
