Batting .318 with 15 home runs before the injury, Harper played well enough to be voted an All-Star this year. This was his 7th All-Star selection of his career. Patrick B@Datphillydude@JSalisburyNBCS Go figure. Unreal.@JSalisburyNBCS Go figure. Unreal. MIG@ihavehiscard@JSalisburyNBCS I hate this@JSalisburyNBCS I hate this The Phillies have played surprisingly well this season. Sitting in third place in the tough NL East behind the New York Mets and the Atlanta Braves. The Phillies are 69-55 going into Thursday; nine games behind the Braves. As of now, they hold an NL Wild Card spot. Robert Kramkimel@rdigitz@JSalisburyNBCS Smart move thomson. This is the time to do it. This is a good move while we are playing reds and pirates and nats.@JSalisburyNBCS Smart move thomson. This is the time to do it. This is a good move while we are playing reds and pirates and nats. Christie Simon@Momof2GoPhils@JSalisburyNBCS Thank god were playing the pirates14@JSalisburyNBCS Thank god were playing the pirates While Philly fans would like to keep their team healthy, they understand that this is a good time for Wheeler to miss a couple of starts. The Phillies' next two series are against the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Arizona Diamondbacks. Both teams sit at the bottom of their respective divisions. Dave Lorenz, DPT@DLorenzDPT@JSalisburyNBCS Damn. Hopefully they’ve already done a MRI, and tendinitis is all it is 3@JSalisburyNBCS Damn. Hopefully they’ve already done a MRI, and tendinitis is all it is Some fans are concerned that Wheeler's injury could be something more than just tendinitis. If it is just tenditis, the Phillies can play it by ear and Wheeler will be back within a couple of weeks. If there is something more, like a ligament tear that requires Tommy John surgery, the ace will be out for a year. LockedOn_Braves@LockedOn_BravesWould be back in time to face the #Braves at the end of the year as they play the #Phillies 7 times at the end of September. Harper coming back for them tomorrow. twitter.com/jsalisburynbcs…Jim Salisbury@JSalisburyNBCSZack Wheeler is going on the 15-day IL right forearm tendinitis.

Philadelphia will look to Noah Syndegaard, Kyle Gibson, and Aaron Nola to step up while Wheeler is gone. With the Philadelphia Phillies losing Zack Wheeler the return of Bryce Harper could push them into the playoffs Philadelphia Phillies v Los Angeles Dodgers While the Philadelphia Phillies will miss Wheeler, fans are excited to have Bryce Harper back. While going nuclear in his short rehab stint with the Lehigh Valley IronPigs, Harper is looking to bring Philadelphia fans some October baseball.
