Zack Wheeler News
Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zack Wheeler has been confirmed as the Opening Day starter, according to manager Rob Thompson. The right-hander has earned this opportunity given how excellent he has pitched over the last few seasons. This will be a change of pace for the Phillies as Aaron Nola has started the last seven Opening Day games for the Phillies. The organization will shake it up and have Wheeler take the ball against the Atlanta Braves on March 28. The assumption is that Nola will follow him as the second starter.
Jon Heyman of MLB Network has reported that Philadelphia Phillies ace Zack Wheeler has agreed to terms on a three-year, $126 million extension to remain in Philly for the foreseeable future. The right-hander already has a year left on his current deal, so the extension won't kick in until the 2025 season. Wheeler is coming off of an impressive 2023 campaign and has consistently been one of the top pitchers in the league since signing with the Phillies four seasons ago. With one of the better offenses in the league, Wheeler should continue to rack up W's to go along with his other strong numbers. He is a safe Top-10 option as a starting pitcher heading into the season.
Right-hander Zack Wheeler and the Philadelphia Phillies have started negotiations on a potential contract extension, according to Wheeler. It's early in the process, but Wheeler is hoping they can get something done before the start of the 2024 regular season. "I love it here. We're happy here," Wheeler said. The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal said on Tuesday that he wouldn't be surprised if the two sides get something done soon. The 33-year-old made his first All-Star team in 2021 and has been everything the Phillies had hoped for since signing him before the 2020 season. In his four years with the Phils, Wheeler has gone 43-25 with a 3.06 ERA (2.90 FIP) and 1.05 WHIP with 135 walks and 675 strikeouts in 629 1/3 innings over 101 starts. Fantasy managers should have every reason to believe he'll remain a high-end starter in 2024.

Since signing with the Phillies during the 2019 offseason, Zack Wheeler has been one of the best pitchers in baseball. In 2023, the 33-year-old was once again a workhorse for Philadelphia, tossing 192 innings in the regular season as well as 26.5 in the postseason. He struck out over 200 batters for the second time in his career and placed 6th in NL Cy Young voting. Wheeler is approaching a contract year in 2024 and the Phillies will likely look to retain him the same way they did Aaron Nola. ATC projects the right-handed veteran to compile 183 strikeouts across 181 innings to the tune of a 3.28 ERA and 1.11 WHIP. He's been about as dependable and consistent as you can be the last three seasons, and his ADP of 27.5 comes at a fantastic value.
