Throwing live batting practice Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said Monday that Wright (shoulder) has advanced to throwing live batting practice, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
Impact Wright resumed throwing off a mound in late July and has steadily progressed over the last couple of weeks. The 27-year-old right-hander has been limited to 18.2 major-league innings (five starts) this season because of shoulder issues, but he could be an option again for the NL East leaders around early September if all continues to go well. The next step after a few more live BP sessions would be a minor-league rehab assignment.

Begins mound work Wright (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Friday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
Impact It's his first time throwing off a mound since he suffered a right shoulder strain back in early May. Wright remains hopeful of an early-September return to Atlanta's rotation, although he certainly will have plenty of markers to hit before that picture becomes clearer.

Not expected before September Wright (shoulder) is not expected to be an option for Atlanta until early September, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
Impact Sometime in August had been viewed as a rough timetable for the right-hander, but it's going to be a bit longer than that. Wright hasn't had a setback, but the club just wants to be extra cautious as he works his way back from a right shoulder strain. Wright is expected to begin throwing shortened bullpen sessions early next week and then regular bullpen sessions by the end of next week.

Nearing mound work Wright (shoulder) is close to being cleared to throw off a mound, Grant McAuley of 92.9 FM The Game reports.
Impact Wright has been sidelined for two months with a strained right shoulder but has been doing flat-ground throwing for the past month. He figures to need multiple bullpen sessions before facing hitters at least a couple times and eventually going out on a rehab assignment, so there's still plenty of work to be done. Still, progressing to mound work is certainly a major step.

Cleared for throwing Wright (shoulder) was cleared to begin a throwing program Thursday, Gabe Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Impact Wright was placed on the injured list in early May because of a shoulder strain and is likely to remain sidelined until after the All-Star break, but he can begin building up this week with flat-ground work. That will eventually morph into bullpen sessions and then live batting practice, with a minor-league rehab assignment to follow. If all goes smoothly, the 27-year-old right-hander could return to Atlanta's starting rotation in about four weeks.

Goes on 60-day IL Atlanta transferred Wright (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.
Impact Shortly after landing on the 15-day IL earlier this month for the second time this season on account of a right shoulder strain, Wright disclosed that he expected to be out of commission for at least two months, so his move to the 60-day IL isn't overly surprising. The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Dereck Rodriguez, whom Atlanta claimed off waivers from Minnesota in a corresponding move. A clearer timeline for Wright's return likely won't be available until he resumes a throwing program, but fantasy players should proceed as though he'll be sidelined through the All-Star break.

IL stint will be multiple months Wright (shoulder) is expected to be sidelined at least two months, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
Impact Max Fried (forearm) is also expected to miss at least two months, but Wright indicated that his absence could be even longer because his right shoulder strain is a recurrence of a previous injury. He will remain shut down until the shoulder fully heals before slowly ramping things back up. Fantasy managers shouldn't count on Wright returning until after the All-Star break.

MRI reveals shoulder strain An MRI taken Friday on Wright's shoulder revealed a shoulder strain, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
Impact The bad news is that Wright does have the strain revealed after being placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday with his shoulder trouble, and there's no timetable for the right-hander to return. The good news is there's no further structural damage, so it doesn't appear this will be something could end the 27-year-old's campaign. That being said, Wright will miss at least the next two weeks, and it's very possible this injury could carry into June or further.

Goes on IL Atlanta placed Wright on the 15-day injured list Thursday with right shoulder inflammation.
Impact Wright will return to the IL for the second time in 2023 on account of a right shoulder issue, as he was previously excluded from Atlanta's season-opening rotation when he was delayed during spring training after battling shoulder soreness during his offseason throwing program. He lasted just two innings in his start Wednesday against the Marlins before succumbing to shoulder inflammation. Atlanta could put Wright through more testing to determine if he's dealing with anything more significant than swelling in the shoulder, but at least for the time being, he'll be in line to miss at least the next two weeks. The big club recalled Dylan Dodd from Triple-A Gwinnett to fill Wright's spot in the rotation beginning with Thursday's series finale in Miami.
