Wheeler posts first quality start since July 21 amid ongoing struggles
The Phillies ace completed six innings for the first time in over a month, a positive sign as he battles through a difficult stretch.
Zack Wheeler delivered six innings against the Angels on Aug 30, his first quality start since July 21 and the first time he finished the sixth inning in that span. The article notes he still did not look like his usual self, implying he has been working through some form of physical or mechanical issue. He threw 108 pitches, walked three, and needed a late mound visit to close out the sixth. The outing was described as a step in the right direction rather than a full return to form.
