The Phillies have been without ace right-hander Zack Wheeler in their rotation since August 15, and late last month it was announced that he had been recommended for surgery to correct thoracic outlet syndrome. Today, the Phillies revealed to reporters (including Charlotte Varnes of The Athletic) that Wheeler is set to go under the knife on September 23. At the time of the club's original announcement about Wheeler needing surgery, it was suggested that the procedure typically came with a 6-8 month recovery timeline.

Zack Wheeler underwent surgery to remove a blood clot from his upper right arm, with an uncertain timeline for recovery, as announced by the Philadelphia Phillies.
