Kyle Wright To Throw A Bullpen On Saturday
2 days agoKansas City Royals right-hander Kyle Wright (hamstring) has continued his throwing progression in camp and is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Saturday. Wright, who is trying to make a return after right-shoulder surgery, suffered a mild right-hamstring strain late last month, which has put him behind the rest of the pitchers at spring training. Especially due to the fact that he didn't pitch at all last year while rehabbing his shoulder, the 29-year-old is now considered a long shot to win a spot in KC's Opening Day starting rotation, let alone be ready for the start of the 2025 regular season. The Royals are merely hoping Wright can discover some of the magic he had with the Atlanta Braves in 2022, when he posted a 3.19 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 174:53 K:BB in 180 1/3 innings. Even if Wright gets past his hamstring and shoulder injuries and joins the Royals' rotation at some point this year, he'll be on a strict innings limit that will cap his fantasy upside.
