Wright, who starts Saturday against the Cubs, had a more energetic motion during bullpen session that led to more movement on his knuckleball, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wright's 8.66 ERA and seven homers allowed in 17.2 innings are shocking to the system. The working theory is that there's some predictability in the movement of his knuckler, so the results of his bullpen session are promising. None of the Cubs players have faced Wright, which should play to his advantage Saturday.
