Wright allowed one hit and struck out five over three scoreless innings in Sunday's Grapefruit League game, Gabriel Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. "He was really, really good," Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said after the game. "When you look at stuff, he was really good. I think he's more versed, he's more ready for this fight than he was a year ago. He's got another year under his belt, experiencing what he's experienced."

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old right-hander has yet to give up a run through five innings to begin the spring with a 7:0 K:BB. Wright's fast start is a continuation of his impressive run in the second half last year at Triple-A Gwinnett, and the organization's No. 3 fantasy prospect is an early leader in the race to win one of the two open spots in Atlanta's Opening Day rotation.

Wright was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Wright hasn't looked good in four starts for the Braves this season, giving up 18 runs in 16.2 innings while posting a poor 14:13 K:BB. He's fared better in 21 starts for Gwinnett, though his 4.17 ERA and 1.26 WHIP at the Triple-A level aren't exactly elite numbers. It's not clear if he'll get any chances to start down the stretch.

Wright allowed one run on five hits over six innings while striking out six for Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Sandwiched around a rough spot start for the big club July 18, Wright has been one of the best pitchers in the International League for nearly two months. The right-hander has won six straight decisions and delivered quality starts in seven of his last eight trips to the mound for Gwinnett, posting a 2.13 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 57:10 K:BB through 50.2 innings over that stretch. Control issues have been a problem for the 23-year-old during his brief stints in Atlanta, but this run of success could give him the confidence he needs to stop nibbling and attack hitters the next time he gets the call.

Wright (0-3) was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett following his spot start against the Nationals on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

With Max Fried (finger) and Kevin Gausman (foot) still on the IL and Mike Foltynewicz trying to find his 2018 form in Triple-A, the Braves needed someone to make a spot start. Wright had struggled in each of his prior three starts, but this one was his worst. He went 2.2 innings while allowing seven runs on seven hits with three walks and three strikeouts. That bumped his ERA up to 9.72 on the year. The Braves figure to get Gausman back Sunday and Fried toward the back end of next week, which means they won't be needing Wright anytime soon unless another injury within the rotation occurs.

Wright (0-3) allowed seven runs on seven hits and three walks across 2.2 innings Thursday' to take the loss against the Nationals. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

After an acceptable opening two innings, Wright crumbled in the third, when he allowed seven runs on four hits and three walks before as he was removed with two outs. This shellacking came over three months after his previous MLB outing, in which he allowed six runs in a similar performance. He could get another turn in the rotation, but he'll need to do much better if he wants to stick with the Braves.

Wright was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett ahead of his scheduled start against the Nationals on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Wright will join the big-league rotation for Thursday's series opener against the Nationals with Max Fried (finger) on the shelf. The 23-year-old Wright struggled during a trio of appearances with the big club earlier in the season -- allowing 11 runs on 15 hits and 10 walks across 14 innings -- but he's been sharp over his last five minor-league starts, compiling a 1.99 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 37:8 K:BB across 31.2 innings for Gwinnett. Bryse Wilson was sent to the minors in a corresponding move.

Wright was scratched from his scheduled turn Wednesday at Triple-A Gwinnett and is expected to be called up to start Thursday's series opener against the Nationals, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Due to a pair of off days next week, the Braves could have gotten by with a shortened rotation while Max Fried (finger) is on the mend, but Wright will be added to the mix to afford the other starters an extra day of rest. Wright hasn't appeared in the majors since mid-April after serving up 11 runs on 15 hits and 10 walks over 14 innings in his three starts this season. He has looked sharp of late over his last five turns at Gwinnett, posting a 1.99 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 37:8 K:BB across 31.2 innings.

The Braves optioned Wright to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Wright's demotion clears a spot on the active roster for Bryse Wilson, who was recalled from Triple-A ahead of his scheduled start Thursday against the Cubs. The Braves merely brought Wright up earlier this week to provide an extra arm in the bullpen, but he ultimately went unused during his brief stint in the big leagues. Wright will slot back into the rotation at Gwinnett, with whom he's produced a 6.08 ERA and 1.38 WHIP across 50.1 innings on the season.

Wright was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Wright owns a 7.07 ERA in three starts for Atlanta this season and a 6.08 ERA in 11 starts for Gwinnett. The Braves have an opening in the rotation on Thursday, but it would be odd for Wright to be called up just to sit on the bench until then, so he's likely set for a bullpen role. Grant Dayton was optioned in a corresponding move.

Wright was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett after Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Wright was recalled on Friday after Matt Joyce was placed on the bereavement list, though he didn't appear in any games. He owns a 7.07 ERA and 1.79 WHIP across 14 big-league innings and hasn't fared much better at Triple-A as he's recorded a 7.57 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in 27.1 frames.
