Zack Wheeler To DL With Stress Reaction In Right Arm

By Steve Adams | July 24, 2017 at 3:30pm CDT

The Mets announced that Zack Wheeler has been placed on the 10-day disabled list with a stress reaction in his right arm. Fellow right-hander Tyler Pill has been recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas to take his spot on the roster.

[Related: Updated New York Mets depth chart]

Wheeler had a quick stint on the 10-day DL in late June due to tendinitis in his right arm, and he’s struggled since being activated from that most recent DL stay. The 27-year-old has been tagged for 11 earned runs (13 total) through 20 innings in his past four starts. When including his two starts prior to the last DL trip, Wheeler has a 9.89 ERA with 38 hits and 14 walks allowed in his past 23 2/3 innings.

The Mets didn’t include a potential timetable for Wheeler’s return, but they’ll presumably go with a rotation consisting of Jacob deGrom, Steven Matz, Seth Lugo, Rafael Montero and Pill for the time being.

    Amazing what the Mets had for a rotation in 2015. Future looked so bright. Hope they all recover

      I think it all goes back to the Mets over using all their pitchers a couple of years ago when they went to the world series. To me it shows that you build your team around position players first and then go get the pitching like the Cubs did,,and the Yanks are doing now. Pitchers are outlier, and you need to stagger the rotation with young and veteran pitchers. You need a killer pen too!

        Agreed! The Mets needed to spend a little money on a durable veteran or two. Hopefully they learn from this season and get a free agent pitcher this offseason

          Jaime Garcia would have been a good signing for the Mets esp after not signing colon.

          Garcia has never been consistently healthy

          That, and ya know, he isn’t a free agent. They’d have to trade for him.

    Mets better hurry up and trade Matz before he hurts his arm again.

    I really believe he would be better off in the bullpen than a starting pitcher. He struggles after his first time through batting orders and has very high pitch counts early into his starts. Hopefully, the Mets consider this option before another team does and winds up like Andrew Miller.

    Please fire the entire training staff. Even if it’s not their fault and the mets luck is historically this bad. It will give us met fans some hope for a healthier future

        That makes a lot of sense, “Fire the owner.”

        Maybe we should go use our heads as a doorstop while we’re at it?

    I was so mad when the giants gave up wheeler for beltran. I guess now no one won that trade. He just can’t seem to stay healthy, but I don’t follow as much as I once did.

      Honestly, the Giants probably won that trade. Beltran was a stud for them when he was on the field. Put up 1.1 WAR in 44 games. Wheeler has 2.2 WAR for his career, and that trade was in 2011.

    Baffles me they went from the WS to this in a matter of two years esp given how young their starting rotation is

      Pitchers break. That’s why TINSTAAPP continues to be a thing.

    This guy has high potential but you never see it because he’s always hurt. It’s kind of sad.
