BOSTON -- Boston Red Sox right-hander Steven Wright will not be available for the American League Division Series, manager John Farrell confirmed Friday.
Wright, who is rehabbing his injured right shoulder, threw 35 pitches in a bullpen session Thursday at what Farrell said was 70 percent effort. While it was considered a step in the right direction, Farrell said there is not enough time for Wright to be ready once the ALDS rosters are due before next Thursday's Game 1.
"It's likely he throws two more 'pens, the next being Monday, before we would look to alter his program -- in other words, start to see hitters," Farrell said.
