Phillies receive positive injury update on ace pitcher
Before being shut down for the remainder of the 2025 season with venous thoracic outlet syndrome, a medical condition that causes blood clots in the deep veins of the arms, Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Zack Wheeler was dealing like his typical Cy Young-esque self with a 10-5 record, a 2.71 earned run average, and 195 strikeouts, which led the majors at that point.
Wheeler recently underwent surgery to alleviate the condition, and thankfully, some good news has come of it.
