Kyle Wright to miss start of Spring Training, per report

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Kyle Wright is expected to miss time during Spring Training after having a cortisone injection in his shoulder, per a report from Mark Bowman of MLB.com.

Kyle Wright won’t be ready for the start of the exhibition season. But his shoulder feels great after a recent cortisone injection and it looks like he will still make his season debut during one of the Braves’ first two series. https://t.co/Qh1nkRFioT
