PHILADELPHIA — Just days ago on April 25, ace Zack Wheeler made his highly anticipated 2026 debut, tossing five solid innings against the Atlanta Braves.
Wheeler struck out six batters, allowing two runs while showing sharp velocity in his first big-league outing since thoracic outlet surgery. His performance helped the Phillies snap a 10-game losing streak with an 8-5 extra-innings victory.
The veteran right-hander’s return provides a major boost to a rotation that has struggled for consistency.
Wheeler looked like his old self on the mound.
This encouraging debut signals hope for Philadelphia as they aim to stabilize their pitching staff and climb back in the standings in 2026.
