Red Sox Send Steven Wright To the Bullpen

Red Sox Nation, and baseball for that matter, got their first glimpse of one of the two knuckleballers left in the game in 2013. That knuckleballer was Steven Wright. Wright was acquired from the Cleveland Indians in July 2012 for Lars Anderson.

After a season ending injury to former All-Star closer Joel Hanrahan, Wright was called up to make his big league debut. But, he wasn’t used out of the bullpen. In fact, he wasn’t used at all. Wright later made his debut on April 23rd, 2013.
