Kyle Wright Could Be Used As Game 3 Starter
1 year agoAtlanta Braves right-hander Kyle Wright has been prepping to be used as a reliever in the postseason, but he could get the nod to start Game 3 of the National League Division Series against the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies. The concern has been how long it takes Wright to recover from some of his appearances. With the idea that he might only be available to make one appearance in the best-of-five series, it might make more sense to Atlanta to start him and see how far he can go as a starter. If Atlanta decides to start Wright in Game 3, they'll have to decide whether to carry Bryce Elder on the NLDS roster. Elder has made just one relief appearance in his first two big-league seasons, but he was a valuable contributor throughout the regular season. Elder seems like the best bet to start Game 3.
