Kyle Wright of the Atlanta Braves is anticipated to miss the upcoming season due to shoulder surgery.
The Atlanta Braves have confirmed that pitcher Kyle Wright, who was placed on the 60-day disabled list last week, will miss the entire 2024 campaign.
Atlanta Braves right-handed pitcher Kyle Wright underwent surgery to repair a torn capsule in his right shoulder on Wednesday, the team announced Friday afternoon. He is expected to miss the entire 2024 season.
Wright was placed on the 60-day injured list with a right shoulder sprain on Oct. 7, ruling the 28-year-old out for the Braves’ playoff run in the process.
As it turned out, the 104-win Braves lost to the Philadelphia Phillies in the NLDS, getting knocked out of the postseason with a 3-1 loss in Game 4 on Thursday night.
Since making his major league debut in 2018, Wright has only recorded one full season on the mound.
The righty went 21-5 with a 3.19 ERA, 1.159 WHIP and 174 strikeouts across 180.1 innings in 2022, ultimately placing 10th in NL Cy Young voting. In all five of his other seasons combined, however, Wright is 3-11 with a 6.68 ERA, 1.733 WHIP and 93 strikeouts in 101.0 innings.
