Phillies' Zack Wheeler Says Being Left Off All-Star Game Roster Is 'Kind Of BS'

After a 14-strikeout outing in Tuesday’s 4-1 win, Zack Wheeler called being left off the NL All‑Star roster “BS,” saying his performance proved he deserved a spot.
MLB named three other pitchers as All‑Star replacements, and Wheeler says he was excluded only because he’s scheduled to start this weekend — he insisted he’d even pitch on two days’ rest.
Teammate Kyle Schwarber, who hit his major‑league‑leading 31st homer in the game, publicly backed Wheeler’s case for All‑Star recognition.
