Mets manager Terry Collins said Monday rookie starting pitcher Zack Wheeler should be able to get through the season without being shut down, per ESPN.
Wheeler is at 151 2/3 innings after logging 149 innings last season. Increases of 30 to 35 innings from the previous year are generally considered safe.
"If he's spaced out and we keep track of him, we should be able to get him to where we'd like him to without a problem," Collins said. "But, you know, he's pitching pretty good."
