Phillies Set Wheeler’s TOS Surgery as Turner Appears Ahead of Schedule, Bohm Nears Return

The playoff-bound club is balancing bullpen injuries with plans for late-September reinforcements.

Overview

  • Zack Wheeler is scheduled for thoracic outlet decompression surgery on Sept. 23 in St. Louis with an expected six-to-eight month recovery, ending his 2025 season.
  • Trea Turner fielded grounders and continued rehab work after a Grade 1 hamstring strain, with the team indicating he looks ahead of schedule and could rejoin before the regular season ends.
  • Alec Bohm progressed to tee and soft-toss work after a shoulder injection, and the Phillies are hopeful he can be activated for the Arizona series that begins Friday.
  • José Alvarado went on the 15-day injured list with a left forearm strain and will not return this year, while Jordan Romano reported neck stiffness and finger numbness the team views as a possible nerve issue with no further testing planned yet.
  • Edmundo Sosa is resting a groin issue for a couple of days with IL consideration possible if symptoms persist, and Philadelphia clinched a postseason berth on Sunday.
