Wright (knee) will undergo surgery on his injured knee and will miss the rest of the 2017 season, Jason Mastrodonato of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports that the operation is a cartilage restoration operation that will be performed next week. Most of the details regarding Wright's injury had been pretty murky up to this point, so it comes as a disappointment that the injury is so serious to those who were stashing him while his timetable was more manageable. This surgery is also one that can take up to a year for a full recovery, which means the knuckleballer could also miss the beginning of next season. With Wright missing the remainder of the season, Kyle Kendrick will fill his spot in the Red Sox's rotation until David Price (elbow) is back in action.
