Wheeler threw two innings during Tuesday's Grapefruit League start against the Yankees, allowing six runs (five earned) on eight hits with two strikeouts.

EDGE Analysis

Wheeler wasn't at his best while taking the loss, and he now holds an 11.25 ERA and 2.25 WHIP with six punchouts over two starts during spring training. Although fantasy managers would like to see Wheeler sharpen things up ahead of the regular season, the star right-hander has proven to be a model of consistency throughout his Phillies career and shapes up as one of the safer pitching options in the early rounds of drafts. Wheeler has made at least 26 starts in each of the past four seasons, and he led the National League with a 0.95 WHIP a year ago.

Wheeler is not available in relief Wednesday for Game 4 of the NLDS against the Mets, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Phillies are facing elimination and Wheeler would be on three days' rest. He would pitch Wednesday only in an emergency situation after throwing 111 pitches in Game 1. Wheeler would take the ball Friday if the Phillies are able to force a Game 5.

Wheeler did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Nationals, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks with 11 strikeouts over 6.1 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Wheeler was his usual dominant self other than surrendering a two-run homer in the sixth inning, but the Phillies' offense didn't score a run until the eighth. The NL Cy Young candidate finished the regular season strong, yielding only 15 earned runs over 11 consecutive quality starts. He'll finish the year with a 2.57 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 224:52 K:BB while compiling 200 innings for the first time in his career.

Wheeler (16-7) took the loss Sunday against the Mets, allowing two runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out eight over seven innings.

EDGE Analysis

Wheeler gave up an early run in the second inning and kept the Phillies in it until Brandon Nimmo led off the sixth with a solo home run to put the Mets ahead 2-1, which wound up being the final score. Sunday was only Wheeler's second loss since the beginning of August, and he's now reeled off 10 straight quality starts. Wheeler sits third in baseball in wins, ERA (2.56) and WHIP (0.96), and he's fourth in innings pitched (193.2) and fifth in strikeouts (213). He lines up for a matchup with the Nationals in his final start of the regular season.

Wheeler (16-6) picked up the win Tuesday, allowing one run on four hits over seven innings in a 5-1 victory over the Brewers. He struck out six without walking a batter.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander bolstered his Cy Young case with his fourth straight win and ninth straight quality start, helping the Phillies close in on an NL East title. Wheeler has a dazzling 1.71 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 66:9 K:BB through 58 innings since the beginning of August, and he leads the NL in WHIP on the season (0.95) while sitting second to Atlanta's Chris Sale in ERA (2.56, versus Sale's 2.35). Wheeler will look to keep dealing in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road this weekend against the Mets.

With the Phillies closing in on clinching the NL East title, they could be tempted to give their ace some extra rest ahead of the playoffs, but his current form doesn't suggest he needs it. Wheeler lines up to make his next start on the road early next week in Milwaukee.

Wheeler (14-6) allowed a run on two hits and a walk over six innings Friday, striking out seven and earning a win over the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

He fired 56 of 84 pitches for strikes, including 15 whiffs, and gave up his lone run in the fourth inning on an Otto Lopez double. Wheeler is 4-1 with a stellar 1.60 ERA and 51:6 K:BB through seven starts since the beginning of August. His season ERA is down to 2.59 alongside a 190:46 K:BB over 173.2 frames. Wheeler is lined up for a home matchup against the Rays next week.

Wheeler (13-6) allowed four hits and struck out seven without walking a batter over seven shutout innings to earn the win over Atlanta on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Wheeler twirled a gem for his 100th career win, and he rattled off his sixth straight quality start in the process. He finally had a month where he avoided a poor start -- over six outings in August, Wheeler posted a 1.62 ERA and 44:5 K:BB over 39 innings, though he was unfortunate to go 3-1 in that span. Through 27 starts this year, Wheeler has a 2.63 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 183:45 K:BB over 167.2 innings, numbers that should have him firmly in the NL Cy Young discussion. He's projected for a favorable start at Miami his next time out.

Wheeler has produced a quality start in all five of his trips to the mound in August, posting a 1.97 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 37:5 K:BB through 32 innings on the month. He'll look to keep bolstering his Cy Young credentials in his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home this weekend against Atlanta.

Wheeler (12-6) took the loss Tuesday against Atlanta, allowing two runs on six hits over six innings. He struck out eight.

The 34-year-old right-hander hasn't allowed more than two runs in any of his last four starts (26 innings). Wheeler's ERA now sits at 2.73 this season with a 0.98 WHIP and 170:43 K:BB across 154.2 innings.
