Kyle Wright Opening Year On 60-Day IL

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Kyle Wright (right shoulder) has been placed on the 60-day injured list, according to an announcement from the team. His 40-man roster spot will be given to John Schreiber after he was traded from Boston to Kansas City on Saturday. This is merely a procedural move given that Wright will likely miss the entire 2024 season while he recovers from shoulder surgery. Acquired from Atlanta this offseason, Wright has spent parts of six years in the majors but has registered double-digit appearances just once (2022).

Kyle Wright Traded To Royals

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Kyle Wright (shoulder) has been traded to the Kansas City Royals on Friday. This is an interesting move considering Wright is expected to miss the entire 2024 campaign while recovering from shoulder surgery. When healthy, Wright has normally been a viable option, so the Royals are banking on his long term potential. In exchange for Wright, the Royals sent right-hander Jackson Kowar over to Atlanta. This trade won't have much of an impact on fantasy baseball this upcoming season. Both pitchers probably won't contribute much on their new teams in 2024.

Kyle Wright Undergoes Shoulder Surgery

Atlanta Braves right-hander Kyle Wright (shoulder) had surgery to fix a torn capsule in his right shoulder on Wednesday, according to the team. The surgery was performed by Dr. Keith Meister in Arlington, Texas. Wright is now expected to miss the entire 2024 season. The 28-year-old just wasn't able to stay healthy in 2023 after a breakout season in 2022 in which he posted a career-best 3.19 and won 21 games for the Braves. He managed to make just nine big-league appearances (seven starts) in the regular season this year and had a rough 6.97 ERA (5.19 FIP), 1.84 WHIP, 17 walks and 34 strikeouts in 31 innings pitched. Wright will now look to rehab all of next year before trying to bounce back in 2025.

Kyle Wright Placed On The 60-Day Injured List

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Kyle Wright (shoulder) has been placed on the 60-day injured list with a right shoulder strain. The 28-year-old has been dealing with shoulder issues for quite some time and it hampered his production in 2023. He obviously won't pitch in the playoffs now so more pressure will be placed on young arms Bryce Elder and A.J. Smith-Shawver to help carry the load. Wright put up a lackluster 6.97 ERA, 1.839 WHIP, and 34:17 K/BB ratio over 31 innings (nine appearances, seven starts).

Kyle Wright Could Be Used As Game 3 Starter

Atlanta Braves right-hander Kyle Wright has been prepping to be used as a reliever in the postseason, but he could get the nod to start Game 3 of the National League Division Series against the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies. The concern has been how long it takes Wright to recover from some of his appearances. With the idea that he might only be available to make one appearance in the best-of-five series, it might make more sense to Atlanta to start him and see how far he can go as a starter. If Atlanta decides to start Wright in Game 3, they'll have to decide whether to carry Bryce Elder on the NLDS roster. Elder has made just one relief appearance in his first two big-league seasons, but he was a valuable contributor throughout the regular season. Elder seems like the best bet to start Game 3.

Kyle Wright Surrenders One Run In A Three-Inning Outing

In Sunday's game against the Washington Nationals, Atlanta Braves right-handed pitcher Kyle Wright took the mound in a relief role and gave up only one run over three frames. The Braves are testing Wright as a potential relief option for October. The 27-year-old has pitched in 28/1 innings this season, logging 30 strikeouts while posting an 0-3 record. Wright also has a 7.22 ERA and a 1.85 WHIP.

Kyle Wright To Make A Rehab Start Wednesday

Atlanta Braves right-hander Kyle Wright's (shoulder) minor-league rehab assignment has been moved from High-A Rome to Triple-A Gwinnett, and he will make a start for Gwinnett on Wednesday. In his first rehab start for Rome last Thursday, Wright looked good and tossed three scoreless frames while striking out four. It was the 27-year-old's first outing since May 3, and he's getting closer to being an option for the Braves' starting rotation down the stretch. Because of the long layoff, he'll likely need a few more outings on the farm before he's reinstated from the 60-day injured list. Wright had a 5.79 ERA and 1.77 WHIP in five starts before his injury this year, but he also had a career-best 3.19 ERA and a league-high 21 wins for Atlanta in 2022.

Kyle Wright Solid In First Rehab Outing

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Kyle Wright (shoulder) completed his first rehab start on Thursday, tossing three scoreless innings for High-A Rome. He allowed just one hit while striking out four and got up to 26 pitches. Wright is working his way towards a return from a right shoulder strain he suffered in early May, and if the Braves plan to stretch him out to a starter's workload he will need at least two to three more rehab starts. He is a decent stash option for fantasy managers who need pitching help and have a free IL spot available.

Kyle Wright To Start Rehab Assignment Thursday

Atlanta Braves right-hander Kyle Wright (shoulder) will begin his minor-league rehab assignment on Thursday and start for High-A Rome. Wright made his last start in the big leagues way back on May 3, so he's going to need at least several rehab starts down on the farm to build his arm back up. He struggled to the tune of a 5.79 ERA and 1.77 WHIP in five starts before his injury this year, but Wright had a career-best 3.19 ERA (3.58 FIP), 1.16 WHIP and a career-high 174 strikeouts in 30 starts just last year for Atlanta. Wright should return from the 60-day injured list at some point in September, but he won't be guaranteed a starting rotation spot and won't have much time left to make an impact for fantasy managers.
