⚾⚾PHILLIES: “It kind of worried me how late this happened,” Wheeler said. “But it’s nice to feel good and be back on the right track.”
If Wheeler does indeed take the mound Wednesday night, he would have three starts before the end of the regular season and be able to start Game 1 of the postseason on regular rest.
Tuesday will mark one month since Wheeler’s last start. By the time he returns, he will have missed five starts. When he first went on the injured list, he came across as unworried and predicted he’d miss just two starts. Turns out, he feared missing more time than that and jeopardizing his readiness for the playoffs.
Wheeler has never appeared in a postseason game. In fact, he’s never been to one. He made 32 starts for the Mets in 2014 but was hurt in 2015, the year that club ran through the playoffs and made the World Series. Wheeler said he was not allowed to be with the club for the postseason.“It’ll be a tough team whoever we face,” he said. “I’m looking forward to it.”
“It’ll be shorter at the beginning,” Wheeler said. “As long as I’m at 90 pitches and seven innings by the time the playoffs roll around I’ll be fine.”
