Mets starter Zack Wheeler has been dealt to the Brewers as part of the deal that is sending center fielder Carlos Gomez to New York. The Mets will be sending Wheeler and infielder Wilmer Flores to Milwaukee, CBSSports.com Baseball Insider Jon Heyman confirms.

Wheeler, 25, was originally drafted in the first round by the Giants in 2009. The Mets acquired in him in 2011 for Carlos Beltran. Wheeler made his big-league debut in 2013 and has gone 18-16 with a 3.50 ERA over his tenure with the Mets.

He is currently on the disabled list after undergoing Tommy John surgery late in the spring. He is not expected to return until the middle of next season. 

The teams have not offically announced the deal at this point.

Stephen Strasburg made his first rehab start Wednesday since going on the disabled list with an oblique injury, tossing four innings of work for Triple-A Syracuse. 

Strasburg gave up three earned runs while striking out five hitters. Strasburg (5-5) has a 5.16 ERA with 63 strikeouts and 18 walks in 61 innings this season for the Nationals. 

Diamondbacks young hurler Patrick Corbin had a fine start on Wednesday against the Mariners. The left-hander limited Seattle to one run on three hits over six innings. He walked two and struck out six, throwing 52 of 80 pitches for strikes in the 8-2 win.

Corbin (2-3, 3.21 ERA) has now posted back-to-back quality starts, allowing a total of two earned runs with 16 strikeouts in 13 innings. 

Overall, Corbin has allowed more than two runs in just one of his five starts since returning from Tommy John surgery. 

Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw has officially been scratched from his start on Wednesday against the A's. Kershaw is dealing with a hip issue which is causing him to miss his start.

At this point, it does not seem like there is too much concern over the injury, and Kershaw is currently scheduled to make his next start on Friday against the Angels, according to The Orange County Register. 

Mike Bolsinger will pick up the start on Wednesday. 

The Phillies announced that starting pitcher Aaron Harang, who is on the 15-day disabled list with a foot injury, will start on Friday.

Harang's start will push back pitcher Cole Hamels, who was originally slated to throw on Friday. Hamels is at the center of continuous trade talks.

Dodgers co-ace Clayton Kershaw could be scratched from his start Wednesday night against Oakland, a source has told Fox Sports MLB Insider Ken Rosenthal. He is dealing with soreness in his glute/hip area.

There has been no confirmation by the team. 

If Kershaw is indeed out, Mike Bolsinger will take his place on the mound and the left-hander will be pushed back to Friday.

Kershaw has had 13 consecutive quality starts and has not allowed a run since July 3. His ERA is at a season-low 2.51.

The Cubs have placed reliever Neil Ramirez on the disabled list with an abdominal ailment, per the Daily Herald.

Ramirez, who was unavailable to pitch Tuesday, has been getting hit hard recently. He has allowed two runs on nine hits in his last 4 2/3 innings.

Cubs reliever Neil Ramirez was unavailable out of the bullpen in Tuesday's game against the Rockies. It is not exactly known what has Ramirez ailing, with manager Joe Maddon telling ESPN.com "He was not OK tonight. That's why I could not use him. I have to find out more about that."

Ramirez returned from the disabled list on June 28 after dealing with a shoulder injury. It is not known if his current issue is related to that injury, or if it's something new. 

Pirates pitcher Charlie Morton took a no-decision, Tuesday against Minnesota, extending his winless streak to five straight starts. 

Morton hasn't won since June 27. He's 0-3 with two no-decisions since. 

Morton allowed three runs on six hits in 5 2/3 innings, snapping a string of five straight starts in which he went at least six innings. He walked four and struck out five.

The road struggles continued for Braves starter Julio Teheran on Tuesday. The right-hander allowed five runs on five hits over four innings in a 7-3 loss to the Orioles. Teheran walked four and struck out four, needing 92 pitches (52 strikes) to get through the fourth.

Teheran (6-6, 4.71 ERA) was given a 2-0 lead in the top of the first. But he coughed up the lead in the bottom half, allowing a three-run home run to Chris Davis. Teheran was stung by Davis again in the second, this time with a two-run shot. 

Teheran has been dreadful on the road this year, going 1-5 with a 7.28 ERA in 11 starts away from Turner Field. 

"I don't know if it's mental, but the numbers sure show it. We've got to get through it", manager Fredi Gonzalez said on Teheran's road woes, per the Braves Radio Net.

Overall, Teheran is 3-4 with a 4.01 ERA over his past seven starts.
