PHILADELPHIA — It’s Zack to the future for the No. 2 component of the Mets’ talented rotation.
Zack Wheeler’s 2018 season officially ended Wednesday, when manager Mickey Callaway announced a shutdown for the right-hander because of workload concerns. Wheeler will be replaced in the rotation for his final two starts by rookie Corey Oswalt.
“I feel good for the most part,” Wheeler said before the Mets finished their series against the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park. “My body, after this long, is starting to wear down a little bit, but if I really needed to, for the playoff push, I could go out there and finish it up.
