EDGE Analysis

Manager Alex Cora said after Wright makes a few appearances, he will not be afraid to use the knuckleballer in high-leverage situations. "He's a guy, when he's on, he's really good, he's a change of pace, too - it's interesting to say the least," said Cora. "He'll get his innings." The Red Sox could use the added supply of arms. The bullpen has faltered recently with Boston's relievers ranking 19th in ERA (4.03) over the last two weeks.
