• Manager Rob Thomson said the club has no timeline for Wheeler’s recovery and cannot confirm whether he will pitch again this season.
• Aaron Nola’s return start on Sunday ended early after six earned runs in the third inning, underscoring growing concerns about rotation depth without Wheeler.
• The Phillies recalled right-hander Nolan Hoffman from Triple-A and will activate closer José Alvarado when his suspension ends to bolster a taxed bullpen.
• Top prospect Andrew Painter is a leading candidate for a call-up as Philadelphia considers adding a sixth starter to stabilize its staff.
