Video: Zack Wheeler Talks Shoulder Injury and Return Timetable Amid Trade Rumors

New York Mets starting pitcher Zack Wheeler is on the injured list with right shoulder fatigue, and Wheeler downplayed the injury to reporters Tuesday.

"I mean, it doesn't really scare me," Wheeler said, according to MLB.com's Anthony DiComo. "We got an MRI, and it came back pretty much clean besides that. So, I'm just happy it's nothing structural, and [I] can deal with what I got and be back in a short amount of time."

However, Wheeler declined to set a hard timeline for his return.
