Wright (shoulder) is on schedule to be ready for spring training, the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

There was some optimism regarding Wright's chances to return had the Red Sox advanced to the ALCS -- after a full offseason of rest, the shoulder issue should be firmly the rearview mirror. The 32-year-old knuckleballer went 10-5 with a 2.68 ERA in the first half of 2016 en route to an All-Star selection, but struggled in seven second-half starts before hitting the shelf in early September. Wright figures to open 2017 in the rotation barring several big additions to the starting staff this winter.
