Joins roster for World Series Wright was added to Atlanta's World Series roster Tuesday, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Wright allowed seven runs in 6.1 MLB innings this season and owns a career 6.56 ERA in 70 frames at the highest level. His experience as a starter means he can give Atlanta length if needed, but he's unlikely to see the field except in a blowout.

Sent down Thursday Wright was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
Impact The right-hander was hit hard in Wednesday's loss to the Mets, as he gave up five runs on four hits and three walks while striking out one in two innings. Max Fried (finger) is expected to return from the 10-day injured list next week, so Wright will head back to the minors. Right-hander Jesse Chavez's contract was selected as part of a corresponding move.

Mauled by Mets Wright (0-1) took the loss Wednesday, coughing up five runs on four hits and three walks over two innings as Atlanta was downed 7-3 by the Mets. He struck out one.
Impact It was a rough night for the right-hander, who got chased from the game after 55 pitches (29 strikes). Despite the poor outing, Wright and his career 6.56 ERA could be needed for one more turn through the rotation before Max Fried (finger) is able to rejoin the staff.

Confirmed to start Wednesday Atlanta manager Brian Snitker confirmed Wright will start Wednesday's series finale against the Mets in New York, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
Impact When Wright was promoted from Triple-A Gwinnett a day ago, the prevailing expectation was that he would slot into the rotation as a replacement for the injured Max Fried (finger), but Atlanta waited until after Tuesday's 3-0 win before making the 25-year-old's starting assignment official. A 2017 first-round pick, Wright has made appearances with the big club in each of the past four seasons, but he has yet to establish himself as a long-term fixture in the rotation. Through 20 career appearances (13 starts) with Atlanta, Wright owns a 6.09 ERA (6.37 FIP), 1.63 WHIP and 18.6 percent strikeout rate.
