Wright (shoulder) is close to beginning a throwing program, MLB.com's Brittany Ghiroli reports. Wright was placed on the disabled list April 11 and ruled out for 4-to-6 weeks due to left shoulder inflammation. It seems the time off he's received has allowed the inflammation to calm down at least a little bit, so he'll attempt to build his arm strength back up in preparation for a return to the O's bullpen. Wright posted a 3.17 ERA and 1.38 WHIP over 48.1 innings with the Cubs last season.
