Wright (knee) will throw two innings of live batting practice Wednesday, Chad Jennings of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wright was able to keep his arm in shape while recovering from knee surgery. That he's ready to resume throwing off a mound means there's an outside chance he could be ready for the first turn of the rotation in the regular season. Manager Alex Cora suggests Wright could get his work in leading up to March 28 -- the day before Opening Day -- and put him in line to pitch April 2, the first time Boston will need a fifth starter.
