Wright had an opening game to forget, going 0-for-4 at the plate while also having issues defensively.

EDGE Analysis

Wright struck out with runners at the corners, including the tying run on third, and one out against Wade Davis in the ninth. In the field, his throws from third had no zip, possibly due to his change in arm angle, which was put in place to take pressure off his back. It's the potential inability to square up on good fastballs and possible defensive issues that have brought to light questions on his placement in the batting order along with whether he can handle the hot corner moving forward. Keep an eye on both, as that would impact his playing time in addition to the rest needed due to the stenosis.
