Wright is expected to meet with Dr. Neal ElAttrache this week for an evaluation of his right shoulder, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Since ElAttrache is based on the West Coast, Wright will travel with the Red Sox to San Diego for their upcoming series with the Padres, but he's already been scratched from his scheduled start Tuesday. Clay Buchholz is slated to fill in for Wright, and could remain in the rotation beyond Tuesday if the knuckleballer's shoulder issue proves to be more than a short-term concern. Wright isn't believed to be dealing with any structural issues with his shoulder, but he's still experiencing pain when he throws, which obviously isn't an ideal situation. Given Wright's existing injury concerns along with his 5.06 ERA since the All-Star break, it's probably justifiable to drop him in certain shallower formats, despite his generally strong performance throughout the season.
