The Phillies and Zack Wheeler have agreed on a multi-year extension.
Fantasy Impact
The team is expected to announce the terms of the deal soon. Wheeler posted a 13-6 record, with a 3.61 ERA, and a 1.08 WHIP in 192 innings last season. The Phillies will retain one of their best pitchers and Wheeler will continue to be a strong option for fantasy managers.
Zack Wheeler and the Phillies have started negotiations on a potential contract extension.
Fantasy Impact
It's early in the process. Can it happen before spring ends? "Hopefully it does," Wheeler said. "I love it here. We're happy here." Wheeler is entering his fifth season with the Phillies this year.
Zack Wheeler is expected to start in Game 2 of the NLDS for the Phillies against the Braves.
Fantasy Impact
The Phillies have yet to determine who will start in Game 1 with Aaron Nola taking the mound in Game 3. Wheeler allowed one run across 6 2/3 innings in Game 1 of the Wild Card Series against the Marlins.
Despite a solid strikeout performance, Zack Wheeler had a rough outing against the Pirates, allowing four hits and one earned run in just four innings pitched.
Fantasy Impact
This performance adds to his season-long stats of 32 games started, a 3.56 ERA, and a 1.07 WHIP. While Wheeler has shown flashes of dominance this season, his inconsistency and short outing in this game may raise concerns for fantasy owners going forward.
