New York Mets SP Zack Wheeler said his goal is to slow things down on the mound this year after he had a tendency to rush his body while delivering pitches in his rookie season. He also said that reports of him tipping his pitches after he was called up last year were inaccurate. Wheeler is hoping he'll receive the nod on Opening Day this year.

New York Mets SP Zack Wheeler (shoulder) visited with a doctor after dealing with shoulder stiffness last week. The team isn't worried about Wheeler, so he did not undergo an MRI exam. However, he won't pitch again this season.

Fantasy Tip: Go ahead and drop Wheeler in all redraft leagues.

New York Mets P Carlos Torres will move to the bullpen for a few days as the team goes with a modified six-man starting rotation.

New York Mets SP Zack Wheeler is around 28 innings from being shut down for the season. His next start is scheduled for Friday, Sept. 6, and it's unclear if he'll make it through the final month of the season. However, the team is considering a six-man rotation. He has thrown 151 2/3 innings between the majors and minors this year.

Fantasy Tip: Continue to ride Wheeler out until he's shut down. Be aware, however, that the Mets could try to limit how deep he goes in his remaining starts in order to preserve him the rest of the way.
