Episode Synopsis

Philadelphia Phillies fans brace yourselves: Ace pitcher Zack Wheeler is out indefinitely after being diagnosed with venous thoracic outlet syndrome, requiring season-ending surgery. Following a procedure to remove a blood clot, doctors recommended a more extensive surgery that could sideline the thirty-five-year-old star for up to eight months, potentially impacting the start of the 2026 season. This devastating blow leaves a massive hole in Philadelphia's pitching rotation as they push for the playoffs, as Wheeler was a top Cy Young contender this year. Stay tuned for updates on Wheeler's recovery and the team's strategy moving forward.The Daily News Now! - Every city. Every story. AI Powered. Hosted on Acast.
