Though he had mentioned it as a possibility earlier in the season, Mets manager Terry Collins told ESPN.com the team is not considering using Zack Wheeler in relief in order to extend his season.
Wheeler has thrown 119 1/3 inning so far this season between the majors and minors, and Collins thinks he will be capped at 189 to 190 innings this season. That likely leaves him 60 to 70 innings remaining in the season, which could get him through his limit if the team keeps utilizing a six-man rotation.
