<p>The Philadelphia Phillies placed three-time All-Star pitcher Zack Wheeler on the 15-day injured list Saturday due to a blood clot located near his right shoulder.</p>
<p>The news came from Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski less than 24 hours after Wheeler allowed two runs on four hits over five innings in Friday's 6-2 win over the Washington Nationals.</p>
<p>"There's not a whole lot we can say on it at this time," Dombrowski said after Saturday's game. "But I commend (the medical staff) for finding this because it could've been a much more trying situation than what it is."</p>
<p>The Athletic reported later Saturday that Wheeler, 35, will undergo additional medical tests to find out more about the ailment and whether he could return this season.</p>
<p>Wheeler has been an All-Star in back-to-back campaigns. In six seasons with the Phillies, the right-hander has posted a 69-37 record with a 2.91 ERA and 1,094 strikeouts to 220 walks in 979 innings.</p>
<p>This season, he has made 24 starts and is 10-5 with a 2.71 ERA and major-league leading 195 strikeouts.</p>
<p>Before arriving in Philadelphia, Wheeler spent five seasons with the New York Mets.</p>
<p>Veteran Aaron Nola was activated from the 60-day IL on Sunday morning. He will take over the vacant spot in the five-man rotation.</p>
<p>Nola, a former All-Star, posted a 3.57 ERA in 33 starts last season, but he got off to a rough start in 2025 with a 6.16 ERA across nine starts. He has battled ankle and rib injuries.</p>
