Set for season debut Wright was activated from the 15-day injured list by Atlanta on Tuesday.
Impact Wright will make his season debut Tuesday night versus the Reds after rehabbing a shoulder injury. The right-hander's velocity was down during his lone rehab start and he allowed five runs over six frames, so fantasy managers might want to keep him benched for his first outing.

Will take mound Tuesday Wright (shoulder) will be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Tuesday's game against the Reds, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
Impact It was reported earlier in the day that Wright remained on track to make his season debut Tuesday, and this news simply confirms his return. The right-hander posted a 3.19 ERA and 1.16 WHIP with a 174:53 K:BB across 180.1 frames a season ago.

In line to start Tuesday Wright (shoulder) remains on track to return from the 15-day injured list to start Tuesday's game against the Reds in Atlanta, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
Impact Atlanta hasn't yet confirmed that Wright will take the hill Tuesday, but he's back with the big club after covering six innings and striking out six while allowing five earned runs in his rehab start with Triple-A Gwinnett last Wednesday. Though Atlanta might have wanted to see a slightly better result from Wright in the rehab outing, his right shoulder seems to have checked out fine following the start, and perhaps most importantly, he was able to stretch out to 84 pitches. Even if he's still a bit rusty coming off the injury, Wright's addition should be a welcome one for an Atlanta rotation that's without ace Max Fried (hamstring) and has gotten poor results overall from young arms Dylan Dodd and Jared Shuster thus far.

Impact Wright's velocity was way down and he allowed five runs in six innings for Gwinnett. He did strike out six, though, and it's encouraging that he bounce back well from the outing. Even if Wright does indeed return on April 11, fantasy managers might be wise to wait to activated him to see how he looks for a start or two.

Scuffles in rehab start Wright (shoulder) gave up five runs on seven hits and a walk over six innings in a start for Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday. He struck out six.
Impact A grand slam by Ryan O'Hearn accounted for most of the damage off the right-hander, but the fact that Wright was able to stretch out to 84 pitches (53 strikes) and generate some strikeouts are encouraging signs. He got a late start to camp after getting a cortisone injection in his shoulder in January, but Wright appears to be on track to get activated from the injured list when first eligible, potentially joining the Atlanta rotation April 11 for a home start against the Reds.

Rehab start scheduled Wright (shoulder) will make a rehab start for Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Impact Wright missed the Opening Day roster with a sore shoulder, but he's been on track for a brief absence. If all goes well with his rehab start, he could be activated when first eligible.

Officially placed on injured list Wright was placed on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation by Atlanta on Monday.
Impact It was reported Sunday that this move was coming and now it's official. Wright was given a cortisone injection back in January to combat soreness in his right shoulder and simply ran out of time in getting ramped up for the season. The expectation is that he will miss two turns before rejoining Atlanta's rotation, assuming all goes well on his rehab assignment. Jared Shuster and Dylan Dodd will both be in the rotation while Wright is out.

Impact After being shut down early in spring training with shoulder soreness and requiring an injection to alleviate the pain, Wright was finally cleared to make his Grapefruit League debut this past Monday. He's now back on a normal four-day rest schedule and built up to four innings in his second outing of the spring Saturday versus the Twins, but Wright has looked rusty between the two starts, yielding seven runs on 10 hits and one walk while striking out four over 6.2 innings. Rather than rushing him to be ready for the start of the season, Atlanta will give Wright more time to build up his pitch count and hone his command. He's scheduled to make a minor-league spring training start this coming Thursday and then one final tune-up rehab start for Triple-A Gwinnett on April 4 before slotting back into Atlanta's rotation at some point during its second home series of the season April 10 through 12 versus the Reds. Wright's upcoming IL stint should allow rookies Jared Shuster and Dylan Dodd -- who had both been competing for the No. 5 starter's role -- to make at least two turns through the rotation before one of the two likely cedes his spot to the right-hander, who led the majors with 21 wins in 2022.

Missing first turn through rotation Wright isn't in line to start any of Atlanta's first five games of the season, as the club wants to give him extra time to get ramped up due to him being delayed in spring training...
Impact Wright hasn't suffered any setbacks in his recovery from the shoulder injury, but he was roughed up in both of his first two appearances of the spring after he was cleared to make his Grapefruit League debut last Monday. In his most recent outing Saturday, Wright stretched out to four innings but was tagged for three earned runs on five hits -- including two home runs -- and a walk over four innings. Because Dylan Dodd and Jared Shuster have both made strong cases for the Opening Day rotation while competing for the fifth starter's role, Atlanta plans to have both young hurlers make one turn through the rotation while Wright gets more time to build up his arm. Atlanta could still be earmarking Wright for a start in its third series of the season (April 6 through 9 versus San Diego), so the right-hander could avoid a stint on the injured list and still be included on the 26-man Opening Day roster even though he won't pitch in any of the first seven games.

Bumpy spring debut Wright gave up four runs on five hits over 2.2 innings in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Rays. He didn't walk or strike out a batter.
Impact Seeing his first game action of the spring after recovering from a shoulder issue, Wright got taken deep by Brandon Lowe in the first inning and Yandy Diaz in the second, but per Mark Bowman of MLB.com the right-hander's fastball touched 95 mph and he felt fine afterward. Wright will make one more Grapefruit League start before working a simulated game against minor-leaguers after camp breaks, and if he avoids any setbacks he won't miss a turn in the rotation to begin the season, although his workload could be capped in his first start.
