Red Sox place Steven Wright on the injured list

The knuckleballer missed most of this season after being suspended for 80 games after a failed PED test, and he’s also ineligible to play in the postseason. In between, though, Boston hoped he could play a big role. It appears those hopes will be put on hold for a little while, as Wright has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a toe contusion. Andrew Cashner officially joins the roster to fill Wright’s space.
