Wheeler's Triumphant Return: Phillies Ace Dominates

0:00It's April 26th. Welcome in. This is MLB News Today, where baseball meets AI. Philly's A-Zack Wheeler finally made his season debut Saturday night against the Atlanta Braves, tossing five innings and giving up just two runs on. Three hits, three walks, and six strikeouts. He threw 84 pitches, 56 for strikes, and left with his team up 3-2. Coming off the rastic outlet decompression surgery, last September after a blood clot in his right shoulder, Wheeler hadn't pitched in the major since. August 15th against the Nationals. He missed the rest of the last season, but built back with five minor league rehab starts this year. Manager Rob Thompson had no doubts about Wheeler's command, even with velocity questions from spring training, whereas basketball topped out below. 95 miles per hour. Fans and analysts washed closely, but Thompson stayed confident it had ramped up. No issues there. Wheeler hit over 95 miles per hour, planning, topping out at 96.5 on a strikeout to Ronald

At 35, this Atlanta native's already a three-time All-Star and two-time Saiy young runner-up with the Philly's, proving he still got that. Elite Edge as Philly eyes a deep playoff run.
