2025 Topps Now Red Foil #278
Zack Wheeler started the season with a few rough, early starts before settling into a rhythm in late spring/early summer.  In ten starts in May and June, including one bad start against the Braves on May 29th, Wheeler was 6-2 with a 1.43 ERA and 79 strikeouts over 63 innings pitched.  He was named to the All-Star team, but opted to skip the festivities in order to rest.  Wheeler made just six starts in the second half of the season before the team revealed on August 16th he had been diagnosed with a blood clot in his right shoulder.  That ended Wheeler's season, and while he's since had surgery to remove the clot, his status for the start of the 2026 is in doubt.
