MLB The Show podcast Charlie O:
#1 Philadlephia Phillies star pitcher Zack Wheeler underwent surgery this past week to have a blood clot removed from his throwing shoulder. Wheeler is expected to miss the remainder of the season and his recovery is expected to be six to eight months and is expected to return by opening day 2026.
#2 Bubba Chandler was all the rage at PNC Park in Pittsburgh on Friday night as the 22 year old rookie pitched in his first big league game entering in the top of the sixth inning against the Colorado Rockies. Chandler is a top prospect and came through in relief pitching four innings, not allowing a a run, two hits and striking out three.
#3 On Friday the Tampa Bay Rays Carson Williams hit a home run and was 2-4 with three RBIs in his big league debut on his second day in the show. Williams said in the Rays post game show, “It’s every kid’s dream, and it just got even better.”
#4 Former Oakland Athletic and New York Met pitcher Frankie Montas has been placed on the 15 day IL with a right elbow UCL injury on Friday. Montas so far is 3-2 ERA 6.28 in nine games and had started in seven games. The Mets are six games back in the NL East behind the Philadelphia Phillies.
#5 Friday the Sacramento A’s got close but not enough as they were edged out by the Seattle Mariners 3-2. The M’s Bryan Woo pitched effectively enough to keep the A’s in check going a strong seven innings allowing one hit, one earned run, and seven strikeouts. The A’s who had just swept the Minnesota Twins got cooled off by some good pitching in Seattle.
#6 The A’s came right back on Saturday to even the series with a 2-1 win behind the great pitching of starter Jefferey Springs who pitched 5.1 allowed two hits and one earned run.
