The Philadelphia Phillies, struggling in the 2026 MLB season with an 8-14 record, are set to welcome pitcher Zack Wheeler back to their rotation on Saturday against the Braves. Wheeler, who had a strong 2025 season with a 2.71 ERA, was sidelined due to venous thoracic outlet syndrome. His return is crucial as the rotation has faltered without him, with only Cristopher Sanchez performing adequately. Despite recent challenges in rehab, Wheeler’s comeback comes at a critical time for the team.
