Steven Wright News
Free agent pitcher Steven Wright agreed to a minor league deal with the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday, according to USA Today's Bob Nightengale. Wright has missed time over the last three years due to suspensions for domestic violence and PED use, before being knocked out of the 2020 season following Tommy John surgery. Wright is known for his knuckleball, and he would likely be used in relief if he is called up to Pittsburgh. He might have some value in deeper SV/HLD leagues if he reaches the majors, but in most formats managers should be able to safely ignore him.
Boston Red Sox pitcher Steven Wright (suspension) is expected to join the team's bullpen on Tuesday. Wright recently finished serving an 80-game suspension for PED usage. Wright pitched very well during his minor league rehab appearances. The team may ease him back into action, but Wright could end up playing a big role in the Boston bullpen.
Boston Red Sox pitcher Steven Wright (knee), who was suspended 80 games for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing drugs in spring training, is eligible to start a minor league rehab assignment on June 10, 15 days before the team can activate him onto the 25-man roster. The knuckleballer has already thrown a pair of two-inning simulated games last Tuesday and Saturday and is scheduled to go three innings on Wednesday. The right-hander's knee has been fine so far. However, he'll likely strictly be a bullpen arm after posting a 1.52 ERA in 16 relief outings in 2018. Because of his suspension, Wright won't be eligible for the playoffs if the Red Sox qualify.
