Wright (knee) will throw two innings of live batting practice Wednesday, Chad Jennings of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wright was able to keep his arm in shape while recovering from knee surgery. That he's ready to resume throwing off a mound means there's an outside chance he could be ready for the first turn of the rotation in the regular season. Manager Alex Cora suggests Wright could get his work in leading up to March 28 -- the day before Opening Day -- and put him in line to pitch April 2, the first time Boston will need a fifth starter.

Wright (knee) will start the 2018 season on the disabled list, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

This doesn't come as much of a surprise since Wright is expected to miss the first few weeks of the year. He's been cleared to throw off the mound for the past week but has yet to go up against live hitting.

Wright was able to throw off the mound for the first time since undergoing knee surgery last May, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wright initially began tossing off flat ground almost 10 days ago, and he's continued to make good progress this spring but it remains likely that he will miss the first couple weeks of the 2018 season. Eduardo Rodriguez (knee) was also able to throw off the rubber for the first time, though he is doubtful for the beginning of the year as well. Expect Roenis Elias, Hector Velazquez and Brian Johnson to compete for a starting gig this spring.

Wright (knee) is not expected to be ready in time for Opening Day, per manager Alex Cora, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wright began throwing off flat ground last week, and the Red Sox are in position to let him take the time he needs. In addition to Wright, Cora mentioned Eduardo Rodriguez as doubtful for the start of the season. That leaves left-handers Roenis Elias and Brian Johnson along with right-hander Hector Velazquez competing this spring for a spot in the rotation.

Wright (knee) threw off flat ground Monday, Jen McCaffrey of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wright missed most of the 2017 season after undergoing cartilage restoration surgery on his left knee last May. The knuckle-balling right-hander may not be ready for Opening Day, but he appears to be on track for the early part of the season.

Dave Dombrowski, the club's President of Baseball Operations, stated that Wright may not be available by Opening Day following his knee surgery in May of 2017, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wright has been on a throwing program for the past couple months but was held out of all drills and running exercises as the club's spring camp gets underway in Fort Myers, Florida. Although Wright may not be fully cleared by Opening Day, he remains on schedule to be back on the mound in early April. There will likely be continuous updates on the right-handers status throughout spring training.

Wright (knee) is expected to be ready for Opening Day, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

After an All-Star campaign in 2016, Wright appeared in just five games for the Red Sox last season (8.25 ERA in 24 innings) before undergoing season-ending knee surgery in May. He was able to pick up a throwing program earlier in winter, and given his progress, the hope is that he'll be ready to go by Opening Day, barring any setbacks. Assuming he's healthy for the start of the season, Wright figures to factor into the team's starting rotation at least until Eduardo Rodriguez (knee) returns. The 33-year-old and the Red Sox recently avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $1.1 million contract.

Wright (knee) agreed to a one-year, $1.1 million deal with the Red Sox, Evan Drellich of NBC Sports Boston reports.

EDGE Analysis

With the agreement in place, the two sides will avoid arbitration. Wright played in just five games with the Red Sox last season and ended the year on the DL following a knee operation that aimed for cartilage restoration. Wright's availability for spring training remains uncertain as he continues to go through the recovery process, so keep an eye out for further updates on the knuckleballer as the season draws near.

Wright (knee) was arrested on domestic assault charges over the weekend, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Wright family released a statement, claiming the incident was a verbal argument and that he did not raise a hand to anyone. The Red Sox also released a statement saying that police and MLB are both looking into the matter. Under MLB's personal conduct policy, players can and have been suspended when the commissioner's office finds cause, so it's possible that a suspension could be coming for Wright. He ended the year on the DL after undergoing left knee surgery in May.

Wright (knee) was taken off the 60-day DL and reinstated by the team Thursday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wright was placed on the disabled list May 1 with a sprained left knee, and underwent a season-ending cartilage restoration operation a few days later. The knuckerballer may not be fully recovered by the time spring training rolls around, but more updates on his status are sure to be released throughout the offseason.
