Kyle Wright Stats

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Kyle Wright had another solid outing on Thursday as his club defeated the Cubs 5-1. The right-hander allowed one run over seven frames, striking out eight and walking four as he improved his record to 3-0 on the campaign. The lone run scored on a pickoff play in the second inning where Nico Hoerner was able to stay in a rundown long enough for the runner from third base to reach home. Wright now sits with a 1.13 ERA, 0.83 WHIP, and a 34/6 K/BB through 24 IP this season as he looks to keep his excellent start going with a road date versus the Mets next week.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Kyle Wright recorded his first win in his season debut on Saturday as his club topped the Reds 2-1. The 26-year-old was sharp in this one, allowing just two hits and one walk while striking out six over six-shutout frames. 56 of his 76 pitches were strikes as he seemed to be in control all evening by keeping the base paths quiet. Wright spent nearly all of the 2021 campaign in the minors, but did contribute positively in the World Series, so he's worth keeping on your watchlist moving forward. He can be scooped up in deeper formats, however, since he has a great supporting cast and will have a decent matchup on the road versus the Padres next weekend.

Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker said that pitchers Kyle Wright and Huascar Ynoa are likely the front-runners for the two open starting rotation spots to begin the 2022 season. Wright, a 26-year-old right-hander, has a rough 6.56 ERA and 1.69 WHIP in 21 career major league outings (14 starts) over 70 innings pitched. He won't be attractive in shallow mixed leagues, but he could be worth a look in NL-only formats if he sticks in Atlanta's rotation. Ynoa had shoulder inflammation in the playoffs last year, but the 23-year-old appears to be fine this spring and was promising with a 4.05 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, 100 strikeouts and 25 walks in 91 innings last season.
