The Boston Red Sox are contemplating the addition of right-handed knuckleball master Steven Wright to the World Series roster. Wright has missed the first two rounds due to a re-occurrence of knee issues that have hampered his career the last few seasons.
Red Sox manager Alex Cora will make a final decision after Wright participates in baseball activities that will test out his knee. Wright will engage in fielding drills and pitch in a simulated game to see if his recovery has advanced enough to be included on the World Series roster.
“I heard that he feels good about it,” Cora said.
