Zack Wheeler is progressing after thoracic outlet surgery with no fixed return date, while the rotation currently features Aaron Nola, Cristopher Sanchez, Jesus Luzardo, Taijuan Walker, and top prospect Andrew Painter contending for the fifth spot, with possible minor additions forthcoming.

Wheeler's decision to extend his contract rather than test free agency was beneficial for the Phillies, who might have faced stiff competition from other teams.
