Mets put Zack Wheeler (shoulder) on the IL

The New York Mets placed pitcher Zack Wheeler (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to July 12.

What It Means:

Wheeler was experiencing right shoulder fatigue as he prepared for his next start. He is expected to miss just one turn in the rotation as the Mets call it a precautionary move. Steven Matz will start in his place on Tuesday.

Wheeler owns a 4.69 ERA and 1.28 WHIP while striking out 130 in 119 innings pitched this season.
