Kyle Wright To Start Rehab Assignment Thursday
1 year agoAtlanta 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.
