Kyle Wright Dealing With Mild Hamstring Strain
1 day agoMLB.com's Anne Rogers reports that Kansas City Royals right-hander Kyle Wright (hamstring) has a mild right-hamstring strain at spring training that he suffered while throwing the other day. Wright has been able to continue playing catch, but this is a setback in his progression in camp. The Royals will re-evaluate him next week. While it's a minor injury, it's not good news for the 29-year-old, who is coming off right-shoulder surgery and didn't pitch at all in 2024. Given Wright's long layoff from pitching, he was already more of a long shot to open the 2025 season in KC's starting rotation. The former first-rounder by the Atlanta Braves broke out with a league-best 21 wins in 2022, but it was his only effective season in Atlanta after debuting in 2018. The Royals are hoping he can recapture that magic from 2022, but he'll likely be on an innings limit in 2025 if he stays healthy throughout the year.
