Zack Wheeler

The Phillies made a flurry of moves on Friday, while Zack Wheeler’s finger puts Wheeler’s next start in doubt

A middle finger debacle led to Phillies starter Zack Wheeler to miss his scheduled start Friday against the Marlins

Free agent acquisition Zack Wheeler is showing he has been worth every penny of his five-year $118 million deal for the Phillies.

A series preview of the weekend set between the Phillies (9-12) and division rival Atlanta Braves (14-11).

On the heels on a dominating, but way too close (looking at you, Nick Pivetta) 13-8 win over the Atlanta Braves Monday night, the Phillies (5-6) host the rebuilding Baltimore Orioles (7-7) for a three game series at Citizens Bank Park.

For the first time in Phillies (1-3) franchise history, the team will be playing a doubleheader comprised of two seven inning games. Both games against the New York Yankees (8-1) will be played in a mostly-empty Citizens Bank Park, however, the teams will split home team duties as the Phillies will play the “road” team in the first game and the “home” team for the second. Game one is scheduled to begin at 4:05 with game two starting roughly 35 minutes after game one concludes.

The Phillies have made a decision on their starting rotation heading into their away series with the Toronto Blue Jays, oddly enough, being played at Citizen Bank Park.

On a night where Aaron Nola looked to run out of gas in the sixth, the Phillies offense was flat and a rookie made a rocky big-league debut out of the pen, SS Didi Gregorius shined bright. He had two hits including a home run in a 5-2 loss to the Marlins.

The Phillies have agreed to terms with free agent pitcher Zack Wheeler, Marc Carig of the Athletic reports.
