Philadelphia Phillies manager Rob Thomson made a notable Andrew Painter decision in the immediate aftermath of Zack Wheeler's diagnosis.

The Birds won it all after the MVP favorite went down. Wheeler is the best, but the team already has won games despite absences this season.

The Phillies and their pitching staff will have their work cut out for them if Zack Wheeler, the club's long-time ace, is not available for the remainder of 2025.

The Philadelphia Phillies will be without star pitcher Zack Wheeler indefinitely, but the righty's health comes first.

Maybe this time the Phils will listen, even as Roger Goodell continues to turn a deaf ear to the anti-DEI, anti-"End Racism" presidency.

The Phillies managed to punish the Nationals bullpen, getting back-to-back home runs from Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper to claim a 6-2 victory at Nationals Park. And in snapping a three-game losing streak, the Phillies improved to 70-52 and now have a six-game advantage over the New York Mets in the NL East.
