The right-hander should make his final start of the regular season at home Saturday against the Red Sox.

Earns first win Wright (1-4) allowed four runs (three earned) on eight hits and two walks while striking out four over six innings as he earned the win Sunday against the Nationals.

Impact Wright has struggled over most of his appearances this year as he was charged with losses in four of his five starts. Sunday's effort matched his longest start of the season. Although he wasn't particularly dominant, Atlanta's offense provided him with considerable support against Max Scherzer, allowing Wright to secure his first major-league win. With several other starters slated to return next week, Wright's next start should come Sunday on the road against the Mets.

Receiving another turn Wright is listed as the Braves' probable starter for Sunday's game against the Nationals, Matt Weyrich of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Impact Wright delivered a dud in his return to the Atlanta rotation earlier this week, giving up five runs on seven hits -- including three home runs -- on seven hits and two walks over four frames. However, due to a lack of healthy and/or dependable alternates, Wright will get the chance to redeem himself in Washington. Fantasy managers shouldn't have nearly as much faith in Wright as the Braves do, as the right-hander's 7.86 ERA (7.20 FIP) and 1.99 WHIP in 44.2 career innings show no evidence that he's big-league ready.

Sent to alternate camp Wright was sent to Atlanta's alternate camp site Thursday.

Impact Wright has struggled through four appearances this season, posting a 7.20 ERA, 2.20 WHIP and 12:16 K:BB across 15 innings. The Braves don't need a fifth starter until the end of the month, though it remains to be seen whether Wright or someone else -- possibly prospect Ian Anderson -- will get the ball when that time comes. Chris Martin was activated from the IL in a corresponding move.

Wednesday's start postponed Wright won't start as scheduled Wednesday against the Nationals since the game was postponed due to inclement weather.

Impact The 24-year-old now won't start again until at least early next week since Max Fried, Robbie Erlin and Josh Tomlin are set to start this weekend for Atlanta, per Mark Bowman of MLB.com. Wright could start Tuesday against the Yankees, but the Braves could get creative with their rotation since they have two scheduled off days next week.

Struggles with command in loss Wright (0-3) lasted just three innings while giving up three runs on two hits and six walks as the Braves were handled 8-2 by the Marlins on Friday. He struck out just one batter.

Impact It's been a rough first couple of weeks for Wright who more than likely would have already been removed from the Braves' starting rotation if they weren't so desperate for healthy arms. The former 2017 first-round pick has given up 17 hits while striking out just 12 batters and walking 16 through 15 innings of work. His next start is scheduled for Thursday against Washington, another powerful offense that may present Wright with some more struggles.
