Kyle Wright Begins Rehab Assignment In Rome

ROME – Kyle Wight (shoulder) is set to begin a rehab assignment with the Rome Braves on Thursday.

The 2017 first round pick and 2021 World Series Champion last pitched on May 3^rd in Miami. In four starts this season, Wright totaled 16.2 innings and posted a 4.86 ERA.

After leading all of MLB in wins last season with 21 and finishing 10^th in National League Cy Young voting, Wright begins his journey back to Atlanta’s rotation in Rome.

This will be Wright’s first appearance in a Rome Braves uniform; after being taken fifth overall out of Vanderbilt, Wright bypassed High-A and made his MLB debut in September of 2018.

The Huntsville, Alabama native will start Thursday night’s game against the Greensboro Grasshoppers. The first pitch is set for 7:00 pm EDT.
