Philadelphia Phillies right-handed pitcher Zack Wheeler will officially miss the rest of the season with thoracic outlet syndrome, the team announced Saturday.
Wheeler has been recommended to undergo thoracic outlet decompression surgery, which generally has a 6-8 month recovery timeline.
The NL Cy Young candidate landed on the injured list last weekend. On Monday, he successfully underwent a thrombolysis procedure to remove a blood clot near his right shoulder.
