Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez and Phillies right-hander Zack Wheeler have long been elite players when healthy.

NEW YORK -- The Yankees had just edged the Phillies on a Friday evening in July, with Paul Goldschmidt belting a homer for the game’s only run. Savoring the victory, the veteran slugger allowed his thoughts to drift beyond those nine innings -- toward Cam Schlittler's potential hardware, and much
