Wright (shoulder) is heading to the 15-day disabled list, Jason Mastrodonato of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wright was believed to be a candidate to start Thursday but his shoulder must not have responded as well as the Red Sox had hoped. With his last start coming Aug. 5, Wright's stay on the disabled list could be a short one but that depends on the state of his injury. Expect further updates on the knuckleballer's status when a timetable on his return is established. Clay Buchholz will instead toe the rubber for Boston on Thursday.
