Philadelphia Phillies ace Zack Wheeler underwent a "successful thrombolysis procedure to remove a blood clot in his right upper extremity" on Monday, the team announced. Further treatment and a recovery timetable are still be determined.

As the Phillies try to secure their spot in the National League East, they recently had to place their star pitcher, Zack Wheeler, on the injured list with a blood clot in his shoulder. This is certainly a serious matter for Wheeler, and hopefully, he will be 100 percent healthy as soon as possible.
