Boston Red Sox pitcher Steven Wright (knee) is expected to be added to the team's World Series roster on Tuesday morning. He will replace either Heath Hembree or Brandon Workman in the bullpen. Wright had reconstructive knee surgery last year and was still bothered by knee issues in 2018, so he'll need offseason surgery once again. But he got through a simulated game on Sunday and should be fine for the [...]

Boston Red Sox pitcher Steven Wright (knee) will throw a simulated game on Sunday and will do some fielding practice on Monday. Manager Alex Cora said Wright is putting himself in the conversation to be included on the World Series roster. The knuckleballer continues to battle issues with his knee after having surgery last offseason. The right-hander had a 2.68 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 7.0 K/9 in 20 outings (four starts) in 2018. If he does make the roster, he'll work in a relief role for Boston.

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to take advantage of breakouts or impact bats before others sure can.The primary challenge of playing in an NL or AL-only league is often the lack of options regarding adding and subtracting players when needed.

Boston Red Sox pitcher Steven Wright (knee) was activated off of the 10-day disabled list on Saturday morning. Wright had been out of commission since June 23, and now he will head back to the Red Sox bullpen. Wright was actually a solid streaming option before succumbing to injury, as he allowed one run or fewer in three of his four starts this season. Alas, his fantasy value is practically non-existent now as the Red Sox rotation already has a solid stable of arms.

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Steven Wright (knee) threw two scoreless, hitless innings with Triple-A Pawtucket on Tuesday with one walk and one strikeout.
