EDGE Analysis

Wheeler's examination revealed that he hadn't suffered any ligament damage, but further time off is necessary. Moving forward, Wheeler will rest for two weeks before resuming workouts, at which point the Mets will figure out the appropriate way to proceed. New York isn't ruling out a return during the 2016 campaign, but Wheeler's rehab struggles indicate that they'll want to be careful with the 26-year-old.
