The procedure was completed by Dr. Paul DiMuzio at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. Wheeler, who is on the 15-day injured list, felt heaviness in his shoulder following his start on Friday, and was later diagnosed with a blood clot near his shoulder.

Philadelphia Phillies ace Zack Wheeler had surgery Monday to remove a blood clot in his upper right arm, and the team says a timeline for his recovery remains uncertain.
