Wheeler expected to make return from DL on Friday

The Mets expect RHP Zack Wheeler to make his return from the 10-day disabled list on Friday against the Philadelphia Phillies, according to the New York Daily News' Kristie Ackert.

Wheeler, who was placed on the DL with biceps tendonitis on June 21, threw 72 pitches at 95 to 100 percent in a bullpen session on Sunday, pitching coach Dan Warthen told Ackert.

"He threw well," Warthen said. "The ball came out good."

The 27-year-old Wheeler, in his first season back from Tommy John surgery, is 3-5 with a 5.29 ERA in 13 starts this season.
