Beginning year on IL Wright (shoulder/hamstring) was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday.
Impact Wright is continuing his rehab from right shoulder surgery and also picked up a hamstring strain in camp, so he's not yet ready for game action. The club should have more news on a timetable for his return shortly considering he tossed a live batting practice session Thursday.

Throws live BP Thursday Wright (shoulder/hamstring) threw a live batting practice session Thursday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Impact Wright was initially behind early on in camp as he continues to work his way back from October 2023 right shoulder surgery and he suffered an additional setback in late February with a hamstring strain. The righty is now ramping things back up, but it's not clear when he might be ready to pitch in a game.

Aims to face hitters next week Wright (shoulder) hopes to progress to throwing a live batting practice session next week, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Impact Wright is coming off a lost 2024 season due to shoulder surgery and had a minor early-camp setback with a hamstring issue. The right-hander will need time to get built back up, so it's going to be a while before he's game-ready.

Throws bullpen session Saturday Wright (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Saturday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Impact Wright continues to recover from a procedure from October of 2023 to repair a torn capsule in his right shoulder. He suffered a minor setback in February when he suffered a mild hamstring strain, but he was able to get back on the mound Saturday. Wright showed a glimpse of his potential in 2022 with Atlanta, when he went 21-5 over 30 regular-season starts while posting a 3.19 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 174:53 K:BB across 180.1 innings to finish 10th in the National League Cy Young vote.

Suffers mild hamstring strain Wright (shoulder) is dealing with a mild right hamstring strain, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Impact Wright suffered the injury while throwing recently. He has been able to continue playing catch, but the hamstring issue will set his throwing progression back a bit as he returns from shoulder surgery. Wright will be re-evaluated next week. The righty had already seemed like a long shot to win a spot in the Royals' rotation, and this setback won't help his case.

Could throw live BP next week Wright (shoulder) could be ready to throw a live batting practice session next week, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Impact Recovering from surgery to repair a torn capsule in his right shoulder, Wright will throw at least one more bullpen session before progressing to facing hitters. The righty hopes to be ready for Opening Day, but it will depend on how he looks and feels as he ramps things up. Wright could potentially compete for a spot in the Royals' Opening Day rotation, but he might be a long shot given how much time he's missed and the fact that he's behind others in camp with his throwing progression.

Avoids arbitration The Royals and Wright avoid arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $1.8 million contract Tuesday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Impact Wright will make the same salary in 2025 as he made in 2024 when he missed the season while recovering from surgery to repair a torn capsule in his right shoulder. The right-hander has been throwing off a mound and hopes to be without restrictions during spring training as he competes for a spot in the Royals' rotation.

Hopes to be 100 percent for spring Wright (shoulder) hopes to be fully healthy for spring training and compete for a spot in the Royals' rotation, Jaylon Thompson of the Kansas City Star reports.
Impact Wright underwent surgery in October of 2023 to repair a torn capsule in his right shoulder. He's now more than a year removed from that operation and in October touched 90 mph during a bullpen session. That's a far cry from the 95.1 mph Wright averaged with his four-seamer during his breakout 2022 campaign when he won 21 games and posted a 3.19 ERA, but the hope is that his velocity will continue to tick up as he further distances himself from surgery. It's no guarantee his stuff will bounce back as he returns from major shoulder surgery, but Wright will be one to keep a close eye on during spring training.
