SARASOTA, Fla. -- You don't have to remind right-hander Mike Wright Jr. that this is a big spring for him.
Wright, who is out of Minor League options, is trying to make an Orioles rotation that looks to have just one spot available. To that end, he's employed a cutter that he hopes can give him an edge over the competition.
"There's been multiple years [manager] Buck [Showalter] said I need to get out lefties, I need to have something for lefties, and I think that cutter is kind of big," said Wright, who allowed one run over two innings in Friday's spring opener against the Rays.
