Mets pitching prospect Zack Wheeler is set to make his first start in six days Thursday for Triple-A Las Vegas.
Wheeler has struggled in the minors to start the year with a 4.91 ERA through 18 1/3 innings and 12 walks. He's been dealing with a blister, which could be the reason for his struggles. He'll look to get back on track against the Tacoma Rainiers Thursday.
