Braves News: Kyle Wright to start rehab assignment, Jesse Chavez update and more

While the Atlanta Braves dropped their second straight game Monday night, they did get some good news on the injury front. Kyle Wright is slated to begin a rehab assignment Thursday with High-A Rome. Wright has made just five starts this season and has been out since May with right shoulder inflammation. He will likely need four or five rehab starts to build up, but barring any setbacks, could be back in the picture sometime in September.

Additionally, Jesse Chavez threw a live BP session prior to Monday’s game. He is slated to throw another later this week and would then be ready to head out on a rehab assignment of his own.
