Former Atlanta Braves starting pitchers have continued to make news early this week.
The Kansas City Royals announced Monday the team reinstated right-hander Kyle Wright from the injured list but optioned him to Triple-A Omaha. Essentially what that means is Wright will continue in the minor leagues after his rehab assignment at Triple-A is finished.
Wright has not pitched at the MLB level for the Royals this season.
The last time Wright appeared in the Majors was with the Braves in 2023. During that season, he went 1-3 with a 6.97 ERA during nine outings, seven of which were starts.
