Wheeler will take the mound for Double-A Reading on Tuesday for his fourth rehab start as he makes his way back from thoracic outlet surgery. He’s expected to throw 80-85 pitches. He’s then scheduled for what should be a final rehab outing on Sunday in Reading, putting him in line for a return to the Phillies rotation next week, lining up for a start against the Braves in Atlanta. The 35-year-old right-hander has struggled to maintain velocity in his first few outings, something that will warrant monitoring in these final rehab appearances.
