Sandy Alderson has defended the team's handling of right-hander Zack Wheeler during last season.

Wheeler complained of elbow pain in 2014, but still made 32 starts. The right-hander learned Monday that he has a torn elbow ligament.

"Let me just ask  Arik Armstead Jersey , why would we treat somebody like [staff ace Matt] Harvey with the kind of caution that we did and then throw somebody else under the bus -- somebody of essentially equal value to us as an organization?" the New York Mets general manager asked. "That wouldn't make any sense. I understand people can debate the number of pitches and the number of innings and this and that. We simply wouldn't treat two guys that differently.

"The other thing is, when a guy is being managed, you understand what the sort of apocalyptic result could be -- he blows something out. But the question is, what's the alternative? If it blows out  Eli Harold Jersey , it blows out. The alternative is that you manage somebody to the point where he's not useful to you. ... And so the question is: OK, was the tear inevitable? Or is this a function of how he was used? From my standpoint, it's inevitable given the practicality of how somebody is used in the course of a major league season."
