Mike Wright Jr. will take the mound Saturday afternoon against the Toronto Blue Jays knowing it will likely be his penultimate opportunity this spring to make his case for a spot in the Orioles starting rotation.
He’s put together a strong resume so far, competing with Miguel Castro and Rule 5 draft pick Nestor Cortes Jr. for the team’s fifth rotation spot. Even if he doesn’t make the rotation, he’s probably already done enough to earn a spot in the team’s bullpen, especially since he’s out of minor league options.
“I’ve felt pretty good,” Wright said of his spring.
