After the doctor informed the Tampa Bay Rays manager that Wheeler was expected to miss 1-2 weeks, the manager told the press that the rest of the team would have to step up their play until the reliever could return. "You can't make excuses in baseball, because there's always a game tomorrow," said the team's skipper.
He has made 5 relief appearances this year with 0 saves. Wheeler has achieved a 0-0 record while holding opposing hitters to a .182 batting average and posting a 2.31 ERA. He has tossed 11.2 innings, given up 8 base hits, fanned 13 and issued 2 walks. |  | Sunday, February 7th, 2010: MR Fernando Hernandez Ends Speculation; Signs with Tampa Bay In a move expected to bring depth to the Rays, Tampa Bay brass announced the signing today of reliever Fernando Hernandez.
Hernandez will be pocketing $2,820,000 per season, an amount some BNN analysts think might be too high.
