Phillies manager Rob Thomson said that Wheeler's next start will be pushed back from Friday to Sunday in Texas while the right-hander manages shoulder stiffness, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wheeler felt some stiffness following his most recent start in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Tigers. He was sent for an MRI -- which came back negative -- and the hurler was able to play catch Wednesday. The Phillies don't appear concerned that the shoulder could be a lingering issue for Wheeler, but fantasy managers should nonetheless keep a eye on news pertaining to the 35-year-old leading up to Sunday. Assuming he makes it through his between-starts bullpen session without issue, Wheeler isn't expected to face any restrictions Sunday.

Wheeler (9-5) took the loss against the Tigers on Saturday, allowing four runs (three earned) on nine hits and no walks with 10 strikeouts over six innings.

EDGE Analysis

Wheeler generated 15 whiffs on 98 pitches and turned in a quality start, but he was burned by three home runs and ultimately outdueled by Tarik Skubal. The 35-year-old has now dropped back-to-back starts for the first time this season and has allowed four runs in three of his past four outings, though one was unearned Saturday. He still boasts a stellar 2.64 ERA and 0.92 WHIP while leading all qualified starters with 182 strikeouts across 139.2 innings. Wheeler is slated to face the Rangers on the road next weekend.

Wheeler (9-4) took the loss Sunday against the Yankees, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out eight.

EDGE Analysis

It's the first time since May 29 that Wheeler's failed to make it through six innings -- the right-hander had worked to a 1.57 ERA in six starts (40 innings) prior to Sunday. Overall, Wheeler's ERA sits at 2.56 with a 0.89 WHIP and 122:20 K:BB across 21 starts (133.2 innings) this year. He'll look to get back on track in his next outing, currently scheduled for next week at home against the Tigers.

Wheeler didn't factor into the decision Monday against the Red Sox, giving up two runs on seven hits and no walks in six innings. He struck out 10.

EDGE Analysis

Wheeler registered double-digit strikeouts for the third time in his last four starts, also recording a whopping 22 whiffs in the process. The All-Star right-hander has now thrown at least five innings in each of his first 20 outings of the season and continues to be a workhorse in Philadelphia's rotation, having now reached the century mark in pitches on 12 occasions as well. Wheeler sports a 2.39 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 164:26 K:BB over 128 frames, and his next appearance is slated for this weekend in a tough matchup against the Yankees in the Bronx.

Wheeler allowed four runs on six hits and a walk while striking out six over six innings in a no-decision versus the Padres on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Wheeler had given up one run or fewer in five of his previous six starts, posting a 0.68 ERA and 54:7 K:BB across 40 innings in that span. The Padres were able to get some revenge against him for the eight shutout innings he twirled against them June 30 in Philadelphia. This was also the first time all year Wheeler has given up multiple home runs in a start, as Jackson Merrill took him deep twice. Wheeler still has a superb 2.36 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 154:26 K:BB through 122 innings over 19 starts this season.

Wheeler (9-3) earned the win Sunday in a complete game against the Reds, allowing one run on one hit. He struck out 12.

Wheeler hasn't allowed an earned run in his last four starts (28 innings) while logging 38 strikeouts in that span. His ERA is down to 2.17 through 18 starts (116 innings) with a stellar 0.84 WHIP and 148 strikeouts. Wheeler is currently scheduled to face the Padres on the road next week in what'll likely be his final outing before the All-Star break.

Wheeler (8-3) earned the win in Monday's game against San Diego, allowing six hits and no walks over eight scoreless innings. He struck out 10.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran right-hander notched his third double-digit K performance of the season -- his first since April 18 vs. Miami -- as he generated an impressive 19 whiffs out of his 107 total pitches. Wheeler scattered five singles and yielded just one extra-base hit -- a Xander Bogaerts double in second. With this effort, Wheeler wrapped a masterful month, pitching to a 0.87 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 42:7 K:BB in 31 June innings. The 35-year-old currently lines up to make his first July start against the Reds at home this weekend.

Wheeler (7-3) took the loss against Houston on Wednesday, allowing one run on four hits and three walks while striking out eight batters over six innings.

EDGE Analysis

Despite walking three batters for the second straight game, Wheeler weas very good Wednesday, holding the Astros to a first-inning run and notching eight punchouts. However, Philadelphia was unable to put any runs on the board, sending Wheeler to his third loss of the campaign. The right-hander did manage to log his fourth straight start allowing one or zero earned runs, and he's posted an excellent 32:7 K:BB over 23 innings during that span. Wheeler's next scheduled start is tentatively slated to be at home against San Diego.

Wheeler didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Mets, giving up no runs on four hits and three walks in five innings. He struck out eight.

EDGE Analysis

The 35-year-old right-hander overwhelmed the Mets at times, generating a staggering 21 whiffs during his fourth scoreless start of the season. Wheeler has fanned at least six in all but one of his 15 outings this year, and he's yet to fire fewer than five frames in any of his appearances. Wheeler will bring an outstanding 2.61 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 118:22 K:BB over 93 innings into his next scheduled start against the Astros, who entered Friday leading MLB in batting average (.272) since May 7.

Wheeler (7-2) struck out nine and allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits and no walks en route to claiming a win Sunday in the Phillies' 11-4 victory over the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Matt Gelb of The Athletic broke some news on Wheeler earlier in the weekend, publishing a feature article in which the right-hander confirmed that he intends to retire when his three-year, $126 million contract extension expires at the end of the 2027 season. While the report may have some minor implications on Wheeler's outlook in dynasty formats, the 35-year-old's value in redraft leagues is unaffected. Wheeler has maintained his status as one of baseball's top aces thus far in 2025, with his sterling ratios, strong health in recent seasons and excellent team context having made him a reliable frontline pitcher for fantasy managers who selected him on draft day. He navigated a tough two-start week with aplomb, limiting potent Cubs and Blue Jays offenses to a combined three runs (two earned) on seven hits and one walk while striking out 16 batters over 12 innings.
