In a move that surprised next to nobody, Mike Puma of the New York Post reported that the Mets have placed Zack Wheeler on the 10-day disabled list with biceps tendinitis. The move incidentally falls in line with Tyler Pill being recalled to start Wednesday’s game in Los Angeles.
Wheeler had a second straight rough start against the Dodgers on Monday. He pitched two innings and gave up seven runs (all earned) on eight hits. That followed a start against Chicago where Wheeler recorded only five outs while surrendering eight runs. In that short span, Wheeler’s ERA ballooned from 3.
