The Philadelphia Phillies could have a real Cy Young race on their hands, even with their ace Zack Wheeler landing on the injured list with a blood clot. Their other star, Cristopher Sánchez, has had a special season in 2025 and will carry the title of ace if Wheeler is in fact done for the year (subscription required), per Charlotte Varnes of The Athletic. He's been among the best pitchers in the sport and could even rival Pittsburgh Pirates' ace Paul Skenes for the NL Cy Young Award. Both would be chasing their first in their respective careers.
Does Cristopher Sánchez stand a chance against Paul Skenes in NL Cy Young race?
