Rotoworld Player News

Zack Wheeler

PHI Starting Pitcher #45

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Zack Wheeler pitched three scoreless frames and struck out three in his rehab start Saturday for Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Wheeler, coming back from thoracic outlet surgery, threw 38 pitches. His velocity was down 2.5-3 mph from last year, which might or might not be a concern. If he was trying to throw as hard as he could and only came in at 92-94 mph, that would be a problem. But if he was just easing into things, being down 2-3 mph sounds about right. We will just note that last year, Wheeler averaged 95.9 mph with his fastball in his first spring outing, which was practically a match for the 96.1 mph he averaged during the season. Wheeler is due to make two more rehab starts before being reevaluated.
Jhoan Duran

PHI Relief Pitcher #59

Jhoan Duran allowed two runs -- one earned -- with two strikeouts to take the loss against the Rangers on Saturday.

Duran came out for the top of the tenth inning after the Phillies tied the game in the bottom of the ninth. He allowed a base hit before a wild pitch scored one run. Duran then struck out a pair of batters, followed by an RBI single by Andrew McCutchen. Duran would take his first loss of the season.
Aaron Nola

PHI Starting Pitcher #27

Aaron Nola surrendered three runs with seven strikeouts over five innings in a no-decision against the Rangers on Saturday.

Nola recorded two quick outs before Corey Seager did damage early, taking him deep for a solo homer in the first inning. Jake Burger later took him deep for a two-run blast in the third. Nola gave the Phillies two more scoreless innings, ending his day after five with an impressive seven strikeouts on 14 swinging strikes. The 32-year-old right-hander will take on the Rockies in Colorado on Friday.
Garrett Stubbs

PHI Catcher #21

Phillies sent C Garrett Stubbs outright to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Stubbs opted to remain with Philadelphia after passing through waivers following his removal from the club’s 40-man roster earlier this week. It’ll be Rafael Marchán handling the backup catching duties behind J.T. Realmuto moving forward.
Zack Wheeler

PHI Starting Pitcher #45

Zack Wheeler (shoulder) will make two additional minor league rehab starts following Saturday’s outing for Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Wheeler is scheduled to throw roughly 45 pitches in his first rehab outing to be followed by two additional tune-up starts before the Phillies make a determination on his status. That rough timeline puts him on track to potentially make his season debut by the end of April or early May, barring any complications.
Sergio Alcantara

PHI Shortstop #3

Phillies signed Sergio Alcántara to a minor league contract.

He played one game for the Diamondbacks last season and wound up with the Nationals in spring training. Alcántara will probably help fill in for Aidan Miller at shortstop at Triple-A Lehigh Valley while Miller deals with a sore back that has him on the minor league injured list.
Oscar Mercado

PHI Right Fielder #40

Phillies signed OF Oscar Mercado to a minor league contract.

He’ll likely report to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Mercado hasn’t been in the big leagues since 2023 and, in his age-31 season, would probably need a rash of outfield injuries to see major league playing time in 2026.
Cristopher Sánchez

PHI Starting Pitcher #61

Cristopher Sánchez limited the Rangers to three hits and fanned 10 in six shutout innings in the Phillies’ 5-3 victory Thursday.

Eight of the 11 balls in play against Sánchez today were hit hard, but only three turned into hits, with Andrew McCutchen’s 398-foot double being the lone extra-base hit. Sánchez can afford to give up the hard contact because so much of it is on the ground and because he hardly walks anyone. He issued no free passes today, Last year, he walked one or none in 19 of his 32 starts. Sánchez will face the Nationals next week.
Jhoan Duran

PHI Relief Pitcher #59

Jhoan Duran retired two of the three batters he faced for a save against the Rangers on Thursday.

Those rostering Duran can thank Kyle Backhus for turning a 5-0 game in the ninth into a save situation. Duran allowed an RBI single after coming on, but he then got Evan Carter to ground out to end the contest. His three fastballs came in at 100.6, 99.8 and 99.8 mph.
Alec Bohm

PHI 3rd Baseman #28

Alec Bohm delivered a three-run homer and walked Thursday against the Phillies.

Bohm’s homer off Nathan Eovaldi was only 97 mph off the bat, but it was hit just far enough to get over the wall down the right field line. He’s already off to a much better start than last year, when he didn’t homer until his 33rd game of the season on May 6. He also already has as many three-run homers as he did last year.
