Mets | Zack Wheeler has oblique strain

Updating previous reports, New York Mets SP Zack Wheeler (oblique) is dealing with a mild oblique strain on his right side, according to general manager Sandy Alderson. Wheeler maintains that his injury is not serious, and he's just being cautious. "I'd rather be out one start than two months and be behind the eight-ball when I do come back," Wheeler said. "... Early in the spring you don't want to risk anything. We have a month, or a month and a half, left."
