Royals' Renfroe, Stratton pick up player options; Wright reinstated from 60-day injured list
Royals outfielder Hunter Renfroe and reliever Chris Stratton have picked up their player optionsNOVEMBER 4 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Traded to Kansas City Kansas City acquired Wright (shoulder) from Atlanta on Friday in exchange for Jackson Kowar, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Impact Wright has already been ruled out for the entire 2024 season after requiring surgery last month to repair a torn capsule in his right shoulder. He won 21 games in 2022, though, and makes sense as a reclamation project for a Royals team that is hoping to eventually shift out of rebuilding mode.

Out for 2024 Wright will undergo shoulder surgery that would cause him to miss the entire 2024 season, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
Impact Wright landed on the 60-day IL on Friday with a right shoulder strain. Considering he already suffered the same injury earlier this season, he'll go under the knife to address the issue directly. When healthy, Wright wasn't very effective in 2023, posting a 6.97 ERA and 1.84 WHIP alongside a 34:17 K:BB through 31 innings.

Impact Wright was confirmed to be left off Atlanta's NLDS roster Friday, and his move to the 60-day IL will officially keep him unavailable for the entire postseason.

Not on NLDS roster Wright will not be on the roster for Atlanta's NLDS matchup against the Phillies, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
Impact Wright registered an ugly 6.97 ERA over 31 innings when healthy this year and was shifted to the bullpen toward the end of the regular season. There is no spot for him -- neither in a starting nor relief role -- as the NL East champions roll into their best-of-five National League Division Series versus Philly.

Shifting to bullpen Wright will be available out of the bullpen beginning with Sunday's doubleheader against the Nationals, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
Impact Wright struggled in two starts since being activated from the 60-day injured list with 10 runs allowed over seven innings, so he'll receive a look out of the bullpen in anticipation of potentially filling that role in the playoffs. The right-hander was a key rotation piece for Atlanta last season with a 3.19 ERA in 30 starts, but he has a 7.71 ERA in seven outings this year while missing most of the campaign with a shoulder strain.

Saturday's start postponed Wright will not start Saturday at Washington after the game was postponed due to severe weather.
Impact Saturday's game will be pushed into a split doubleheader Sunday and Wright should get the call in one of those two tilts. He has allowed 10 earned runs in six innings (two starts) since returning Sept. 11 from a multi-month absence for a shoulder strain, but the 27-year-old can look to find a groove against a Nationals team that struggles badly versus right-handed pitching.
