Phillies manager Joe Girardi says he has Zack Wheeler’s back
Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zack Wheeler has a tough decision to make when he is placed on the paternity list later this month — does he return to the team and risk the health of his wife, Dominique, and newborn child?
The right-handed pitcher expressed his lingering concern to reporters on Sunday, but said, for now, he is pleased with health and safety protocols being followed at Phillies summer camp in South Philadelphia.
