Wheeler makes MLB debut, temporarily optioned to Triple-A

Last night, the Mets started a new chapter in their franchise when prized prospect took the mound against the Braves. Zack Wheeler threw six scoreless innings, and struck out 7 batters. He also earned his first win of his career in the process.

When the game was over, Wheeler was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas. However, he will be called up before his next scheduled start for the big league club. 

"The purpose of this move, which is available to us due to his 12th man rule, is to be able to keep a full compliment of 25 players, in spite of the fact that - at least temporarily - we are in a six man rotation." Sandy Alderson explained.
