Wright (10-4) earned the win during Saturday's 4-3 victory over Washington, allowing three runs on eight hits and two walks with five strikeouts in seven innings.
EDGE Analysis
Wright limited the damage to a Juan Soto solo shot through six frames but surrendered a Yadiel Hernandez home run in the seventh and walked Soto before being yanked in the eighth. Soto eventually came around to score, but Will Smith was able to keep the lead, bringing Wright into a tie for third in the majors with 10 wins. The 26-year-old was efficient in requiring only 84 pitches to surpass seven frames and induced an impressive 13 swinging strikes, though keeping 66 pitches in the strike zone led to 10 baserunners allowed. Wright is slated to take the mound in a road rematch with Washington next week.

Wright didn't factor into the decision during Monday's 6-3 victory over St. Louis, allowing an unearned run on three hits and one walk with two strikeouts in four innings.
EDGE Analysis
By the second inning Atlanta had jumped out to a six-run lead, but manager Brian Snitker opted to play it safe and remove Wright after the fourth with the top of St. Louis' order due up a third time in the fifth. The four frames, two strikeouts and 71 pitches all represent low marks for the 26-year-old, who dropped his ERA to 2.91 with the near scoreless outing. He lines up for another start over the weekend against Washington.

Wright (8-4) allowed four earned runs on 10 hits and one walk while striking out four across 5.1 innings to earn the win Thursday against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Wright was in trouble throughout the game, though he induced a double play in each of the first four innings to get out of jams. However, that didn't happen in his final two frames when the Giants combined to score three runs. Wright has maintained a strong 3.18 ERA and 92:27 K:BB across 85 innings this season. However, he's allowed 21 hits and nine earned runs across his last two starts -- spanning 11.1 frames.

Wright (7-4) gave up five earned runs on 11 hits and one walk while striking out eight in six innings Saturday against the Cubs. He took the loss.
EDGE Analysis
The wind wasn't blowing significantly out in this one, and indeed, Wright didn't give up a home run, but the 11 hits allowed topped his previous season high of nine. Despite this shaky outing against an inferior opponent, Wright's season ERA still sits at 2.94. He tentatively lines up to start at home against the Giants next week.

Wright (6-3) earned the win Tuesday, allowing two runs on five hits and zero walks over eight innings against the Athletics. He struck out seven.

It was another dominant outing for Wright, who threw 74 of 105 pitches for strikes in Tuesday's win. This was his third quality start in a row, and his fourth in the last five games. The young righty has been a pleasant surprise this year for both the Braves and fantasy managers and will take a 2.39 ERA into his next outing.

Wright (4-2) earned the win over Miami on Saturday, pitching five scoreless innings and allowing two hits and three walks while striking out six.
EDGE Analysis
The southpaw escaped a bases-loaded jam in the first inning, and it was relatively smooth sailing for him from there as he didn't allow multiple baserunners in any other frame. Wright was pulled after five innings due to throwing 91 pitches, but the one-run lead at the time of his departure held up, allowing him to pick up the victory. This was Wright's first win in May, though he had only one poor outing in the other three appearances. He'll carry a 2.49 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 56:16 K:BB into his next start, which lines up to come at home against the Phillies next week.
