Atlanta Braves starting pitchers Kyle Wright, Bryse Wilson and Huascar Ynoa are the top candidates to fill the final rotation spot until Mike Soroka returns from Achilles surgery. If Soroka returns on schedule within the first few weeks of the regular season, Atlanta might need one of those pitchers to make just a start or two. Wright strengthened his bid by holding the Rays to two hits over four scoreless innings on Thursday. The 25-year-old right-hander finished last year strong and has ...

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Kyle Wright is one of the team's most heralded pitching prospects, which is saying something considering the team also has Max Fried and Mike Soroka in their starting rotation. The fifth overall pick in 2017 had a 1.80 ERA over his final three regular season starts and Game 3 of the National League Division Series. That came after a rocky start led to him being optioned to the alternate training site when he had an ERA of 7.20 after four starts. The 25-year-old...

Atlanta Braves starter Kyle Wright allowed four runs (three earned) on eight hits across six innings of work during Sunday's 8-4 win over the Washington Nationals. He struck out four batters while walking two. It was not a flawless performance by any means, but it was enough to give him the win. Wright now owns a 1-4 record to go along with a 7.20 ERA, 2.08 WHIP, and 20/20 K/BB rate. The 24-year-old is nothing more than a bottom-tier streaming option for the remainder of the season.

Atlanta Braves right-handed pitcher Kyle Wright had been set to make his fifth start of the season Wednesday against the Nationals, but it was ultimately postponed due to inclement weather. With an off-day Thursday, Atlanta does not have to alter its rotation plans for the weekend series against Philadelphia, with Max Fried, Robbie Erlin, and Josh Tomlin all set to make their projected starts. Wright, the clubs No. 4 prospect per MLB Pipeline, has scuffled mightily this year, walking 16 ...

Atlanta Braves pitcher Kyle Wright allowed five earned runs across 2 2/3 innings of work during Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. He struck out three batters while walking three. The 24-year-old projects to have some long-term value, but he is nothing more than a streaming option for the 2020 season.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Kyle Wright will serve as the No. 5 in the Opening Day starting rotation. Mike Soroka will start on Opening Day on Friday against the Rays, followed by left-hander Max Fried, lefty Sean Newcomb, Mike Foltynewicz and Wright. Wright, 24, is listed by MLB Pipeline as the team's No. 4 prospect. The right-hander clearly has the stuff to be a successful starter in the big leagues, but his control eluded him in his big league stint last season. Wright has four ...

The 2019 season likely didnt go as well as Kyle Wright would have liked. On the plus side, he reached the Majors for the first time in his pro career but he spent much of the first half of the season on a yo-yo between the Majors and Triple-A. He often went long stretches without pitching which bit into his routine a tough thing for any young pitcher. In 13 first-half starts in the minors, he had a 4.92 ERA with a K-BB of 62-18 in 64 innings. In eight second-half starts when he pitched with ...

The Atlanta Braves sent pitcher Kyle Wright back down to Triple-A on Friday, following his rough outing against the Nationals on Thursday. Wright gave up seven earned runs on seven hits and three walks across 2 2/3 innings in the start, his first big league start since mid-April. The Braves have been shuffling their pitchers around so actively this year that there's a solid chance Wright will get another opportunity to join the rotation. However, his atrocious 9.72 ERA and 2.10 [...]

Weve hit an interesting point in the season where a lot of the top prospects that are going to play every day at the MLB level in 2019 are already holding down a spot. The remaining prospects, for the most part, will now have to wait for an injury to provide them with an opportunity - although moves at the trade deadline could also open up some playing time.[...]
