Zack Wheeler

Zack Wheeler gave up five runs (four earned) on six hits and a walk while striking out five over five innings in Wednesday's 7-1 loss to the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact

Wheeler was sub-par again Wednesday afternoon, as he's now surrendered at least four earned runs in three of his last four outings. The veteran righty has pitched to a 7.63 ERA during this rough patch, but he has still registered 20 strikeouts across 15 1/3 innings. Wheeler will once again try to right the ship Tuesday against the Marlins.

Zack Wheeler gave up four runs on seven hits and five walks while striking out six across 5 1/3 innings in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Blue Jays.

Fantasy Impact

Wheeler just was not dialed in on the mound in this one, uncharacteristically struggling with his control. The veteran right walked five batters in a start for the first time in nearly a decade. Still, he battled and at least kept the Phillies in the contest. Wheeler has a long track record of ace-level pitching, but it is worth pointing out that he's now surrendered nine earned runs over his last 10 1/3 innings. He'll return to the mound in St. Louis next week.

Coming into this outing in search of a rebound performance, Wheeler had to settle for just two innings of work due to a rain delay. The ace righty was off to a strong start, but he was long gone from the game before it was eventually called in the sixth inning. Wheeler will move ahead with an excellent 2.49 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, and 31.3 K% through 18 starts this season.

Zack Wheeler gave up five runs on six hits and a walk while striking out six over just three innings in Monday's 8-7 loss to the Marlins.

Fantasy Impact

Wheeler just didn't have it Monday night, as his velocity was significantly down and manager Don Mattingly pulled him after three frames. Reports after the game suggested Wheeler was fine physically. This was Wheeler's shortest outing of the season to date, and just the fourth time in 17 starts that he's allowed more than two earned runs. The ace righty will move forward with an excellent 2.53 ERA and 0.92 WHIP.

Zack Wheeler allowed two runs on five hits and no walks while striking out nine across seven innings in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Dodgers.

Fantasy Impact

Despite taking just his second loss of the season, Wheeler maintained his ace-caliber form on the mound. The veteran righty now sports a 2.16 ERA and 0.88 WHIP through 16 starts, and he's definitely in the early Cy Young discussion at this point.
