Zack Wheeler Plans To Play This Season
4 years agoPhiladelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zack Wheeler said he is still planning to play this season, according to MLB.com's Todd Zolecki. Wheeler and his wife are expecting their first child near Opening Day, so he has been extra cautious amid the COVID-19 pandemic and said he is still weighing the decision to play. Wheeler confirmed he'll likely miss at least two starts when the baby arrives, which would include passing safety protocols in order to rejoin the team. Wheeler is a huge risk at his 109 overall average draft position, though his ADP is sure to fall given his situation.
