Yesterday, the New York Mets announced that they were placing starter Zack Wheeler on the injured list with shoulder fatigue. Today, the club announced the corresponding move, recalling reliever Jacob Rhame from Triple-A to take Wheeler’s spot on the 25-man roster.
With Rhame resurfacing at the big league level, he will be forced to answer to a two-game suspension that he received for “intentionally throwing a pitch in the area of the head” of Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins.
