Zack Wheeler headed to injured list with right shoulder fatigue

MINNEAPOLIS _ Zack Wheeler is hurt, thrusting into question his status as the Mets' most likely and best trade chip this month.

The Mets put Wheeler on the injured list on Monday, retroactive to Friday, with right shoulder fatigue, which popped up over the weekend in Miami as he prepared for his first start of the second half. There is no structural damage, a source said, leading to hope that Wheeler will be able to return when eligible next Tuesday (after a team off day Monday), leaving him with a maximum of two starts before the July 31 trade deadline.

"No huge issues other than a little fatigue," the source said.
