Zack Wheelers rehab journey with the Phillies is gaining momentum after his surgery last year. The ace pitcher, now thirty-five, has been making strides in minor league starts, showcasing his Cy Young potential despite some early challenges. On Tuesday, he delivered a dominant performance for the Reading Fightin Phils, striking out nine batters, including Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe on rehab. This was his longest outing yet, throwing seventy-two pitches. The Phillies rotation, currently struggling with a high batting average and ERA, eagerly awaits Wheelers return. He is set for a fifth start with Reading this Sunday, potentially his last tune-up before rejoining the MLB, aligning with the leagues rehab timeline.
