In an article in the Phillies account on Twitter / X, they restored the launcher leaving Zack Wheeler from the paternity list and placed it on the active list. The corresponding movement to open this list place was to send the right-handers Daniel Robert to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
The move for the phillies comes in the middle of the birth of Wheeler’s fourth child, and after missing his departure previously planned against the Blue Jays de Toronto. Wheeler returns at a key moment, because the phillies are in shock following a scan against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Until now in 2025, Wheeler has been his dominant self. He has an MPM of 2.96, 6 victories and 2 defeats, the two defeats against the Braves of Atlanta. Wheeler has 94 stick withdrawals in 76 rounds launched and only granted 18 balls to balls and 9 circuits in this period.

It is a high task in the first departure of Wheeler from the paternity list, but his prowess of pitching since his arrival in Philadelphia have more than earned him the confidence of the organization and Rob Thomson.
Wheeler will seek to help the phillies bounce from a rough stretch, while bouncing on a difficult outing against the brave, where he granted six points deserved in 5.1 rounds.
