Kyle Wright Throwing Live Batting Practice
1 year agoAtlanta Braves right-hander Kyle Wright (shoulder) has started throwing live batting practice, according to manager Brian Snitker. Wright will continue his work in Florida at the team's spring training facilities, where he can face hitters from the Florida Complex League. The 27-year-old hasn't pitched since earlier this season due to right-shoulder issues. He probably isn't going to have much time in September to contribute to fantasy lineups, but he'll be another starting option for Atlanta as they look to make a deep postseason run this fall. Wright didn't look to great in five starts this year before his injury, allowing 14 runs (12 earned) on 23 hits while walking 10 and striking out 20 in 18 2/3 innings. But he won a league-high 21 games in 2021 and had a career-low 3.19 ERA in 30 starts.
