Wright (shoulder) is hoping to begin a throwing program next week, Evan Drellich of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wright has been shut down since the end of August, but it now appears that the swelling has subsided enough to put forth a tentative timeline to begin throwing. It still remains to be seen if he'll be ready to return in the regular season, but there should be a clearer indication of a timetable after seeing how he responds to next week's throwing session.
